Introducing MiAI Law: Smarter Legal AI for In-House Counsel
The Association of Corporate Counsel is proud to feature MiAI Law as our TechMate partner for the next three months. MiAI is a next-generation legal AI platform designed by lawyers for the realities of in-house practice: faster contract turnaround, sharper risk visibility, and clear communication with business stakeholders.
🌟 Contract Review — Five Outputs for Every Use Case
MiAI reviews every contract from first principles, combining legal risk analysis, drafting audit, negotiation support, and business-ready summaries. Unlike playbook or CLM systems, MiAI provides outputs tailored for both lawyers and the business:
- Lite Review – a snapshot report highlighting the top issues with executive actions.
- Deep Review – a comprehensive legal analysis with doctrinal reasoning, relevant case law, and negotiation strategies.
- Contract Audit – a forensic check of definitions, cross-references, internal inconsistencies, and undefined terms. Issues are Red/Amber/Green flagged with fixes.
- Contract Summary – a plain-language overview of key terms, obligations, and risks, ready to brief executives or project teams.
- Negotiation Guide (NEW) – every 🚩 Red and Major ⚠️ Amber issue is analysed in depth, with tiered fallback clause options and plain-English business talking points (≤3 sentences each). This produces a concise “Negotiation Preparation Note” (≤3 pages) that in-house counsel can use directly with executives or in deal discussions.
📚 Research — Covering the Breadth of In-House Issues
In-house teams face questions across every part of the business — from HR to compliance, data, IP, and beyond. MiAI’s research feature supports this breadth with:
- Lite Research for rapid, high-level answers.
- Deep Research for detailed, first-principles analysis of case law and legislation.
As Mei-Shan Tan, former General Counsel for Citi China and Hong Kong said:
“MiAI Law is an invaluable tool for in-house teams. As a general counsel, I had to be across issues arising from every part of the business — from contracts and compliance to regulatory queries. MiAI makes that kind of legal research faster, clearer, and more reliable. The contract review feature is particularly powerful: it surfaces issues quickly, highlights inconsistencies, and transforms complex analysis into manageable, actionable insights. For any general counsel, MiAI Law is more than a time-saver. It’s a way to challenge your team, sharpen legal reasoning, and ultimately deliver better outcomes for clients and the business.”
⚡ Coming Soon: LawCheck (part of Miai Law premium offering)
Launching before 27 September, LawCheck (part of our CheckMate suite) will instantly verify any legal proposition in a contract, policy, or even an AI draft. It acts as a truth-checker that saves hours of manual validation.
📌 Where MiAI Fits vs CLM
Many in-house teams already use CLM (Contract Lifecycle Management) tools. These platforms manage the workflow of contracts — intake, drafting, approval, execution, obligation tracking, renewals, and analytics. CLM answers the questions: Where is this contract? Who has approved it? What obligations are outstanding?
MiAI Law is different. MiAI provides first-principles legal analysis inside the contract itself:
- spotting risks and contradictions,
- explaining legal and commercial significance,
- preparing fallback clauses and negotiation talking points,
- and producing summaries you can hand straight to the business.
Put simply:
- CLM tells you where your contracts are and what they say.
- MiAI tells you what they mean legally, where the risks lie, and how to negotiate them.
