Mike is an open-source legal AI platform that offers a cost-effective alternative to proprietary solutions like Harvey and Legora, eliminating vendor lock-in, per-seat licensing, and high enterprise contracts while maintaining full data control and compliance through self-hosting capabilities. For IT organizations, this represents a strategic opportunity to reduce legal tech spending, maintain sovereignty over sensitive documents and AI models, and avoid escalating SaaS costs through transparent, auditable code that can be customized to firm-specific needs. The open-source model shifts technology ownership and customization control from vendors to the organization, but requires IT teams to manage deployment, maintenance, and integration responsibilities.
