I built my startup after three decades in law. I couldn’t have done it at 25

▤ Summary

Laina Chan describes how three decades working as a solicitor, barrister and legal academic led her to found MiAI Law, a legal AI risk management company. She explains that deep domain experience let her recognise that legal systems have grown beyond individual cognitive capacity and inspired a product to address that scale problem. Chan argues that age and accumulated pattern recognition gave her the expertise and resilience needed to build a meaningful technology business. She frames the startup as solving a structural issue in legal reasoning rather than chasing trends, and says lawyers immediately see the value in demos.
