Harvey at $11 Billion, Legora at $5.5 Billion: What One Lawyer’s Open-Source Project Says About the Future of Legal AI

Harvey is valued at $11 billion. Legora just raised at $5.5 billion.

One lawyer just showed the world neither valuation makes sense.

Will Chen, Oxford law graduate and former Latham & Watkins lawyer, built Mike OSS, an open source tool with the same core capability as Harvey and Legora, in just two weeks and gave it away for free. It became one of the fastest-growing legal tech projects ever released, and law firms worldwide are still talking about it.

Now he’s joining EnablifyAI live.

THE INDEPENDENT PATH TO LEGAL AI
What it actually takes to deploy AI in legal, without the lock-in

The session covers what building Mike OSS exposed about legal AI, why the AI itself is no longer the hard part, and how firms can build AI capability they actually own.

Commenting on the growing impact of artificial intelligence on the legal profession, Taimur Malik, Founder of Courting The Law and Senior Partner at Kilam Law, said:

“Artificial intelligence is rapidly transforming legal practice around the world. The most important question for lawyers is no longer whether AI will affect the profession, but how legal professionals can adopt these tools responsibly while maintaining the standards, ethics, and judgment that clients expect. Conversations around open source legal AI and independent deployment models are particularly relevant as firms explore how to innovate while retaining control over their data, workflows, and expertise.”
