Will Chen is the creator of MikeOSS, a viral open-source legal AI platform. An Oxford law graduate with a double first, he previously worked as an associate at Latham & Watkins. He is a vocal advocate for a more open, accessible, and community-driven approach to legal technology, directly challenging expensive proprietary systems.

Wills entrepreneurial journey in legal tech began before MikeOSS when he founded Lawprof, which has become the UKs largest online learning platform for law students. His latest project, MikeOSS, is cleverly named after Mike Ross from the TV show "Suits," reflecting a creative and disruptive approach to the traditionally formal legal industry.

In just two weeks, Will built and open-sourced the core functionality of legal AI platforms valued in the billions, releasing it for free.
