In this session, we spoke with Colin Lachance, the Innovator in Residence at the Ontario Bar Association (OBA) and the Principal of law firm coaching and consulting business, PGYA Consulting.
Colin has spent most of his career in the legal industry. Heâs worked in publishing, consulting, and legaltech development just to name a few. In all that he has done, and itâs a lot, thereâs been a consistent theme â heâs comfortable with challenging the status quo and doing things differently.
Heâs been named one of the âTop 25 Most Influential Lawyersâ by Canadian Lawyer Magazine, a âLegal Rebelâ by the ABA Journal and is a member of the Fastcase 50 class of legal innovators and visionaries.
Colinâs amazing background both qualifies and recommends him for his role as Innovator in Residence at the OBA. Itâs a unique role for legal member organisations. It was launched in 2018. Each innovator is appointed for 12 months and pursues a different focus area, always with a change agenda.
Colinâs focus area could not be more topicalâŠitâs legal AI. His action plan is ambitious, critical, timely and compelling. It comprises a multi-pronged approach to supporting the digital literacy of OBAâs members at scale. His work will impact the 16,000 lawyers OBA represents and influence many, many more. It includes tech demos, weekly information sessions, establishing an interactive learning platform andâŠhe is just getting started!
We spoke about all of this as well as the global and local context that led to Colinâs appointment i.e., how GenAI has become an enabler for significant change in the legal world; how the pace, depth and breadth of that change is reinventing legal practice; and how it is incumbent on us all to embrace that change.
Donât miss this spotlight, itâs going to excite and inspire you!

This session has become an annual event for us and, this was a BIG year to review the world of legaltech, AI and innovation. So much has happened since ChatGPT exploded onto the market in November 2022. Its impact has been pervasive, even in an industry like legal which would not, in the past, have been described as agile.
So, what changed in 2023? What stuck, what didnât, and why? We welcomed back Caryn Sandler, Partner and Chief Knowledge & Innovation Officer at Gilbert + Tobin and Co-chair of the CLI Advisory Board; Graeme Grovum, Head of Legal Technology and Client Services at Allens; and Tessa van Duyn, CEO and Practice Leader at Moores, to discuss this and, we wrapped with a little crystal ball gazing into 2024 too!
We started this session with identifying why GenAI has captured our attention, dominated every conference, meeting, and the media so completely. Then we moved into the nitty gritty of it all, identifying use cases, interrogating how tech stacks have changed, and how that is impacting the law firm business model (client relationships, billing, risk and value). And we spent a little time on the huge question around capabilities too â do we have them, what do they look like, and how we can bridge the gaps?
Thereâs a lot going on in legal businesses right now, in all these areas, so we also explored how these businesses are strategising and planning for/in a market that is changing so rapidly and dramatically. That discussion took us to the next, how leaders/leadership are/is being reinvented for a new legal world, and that for many, this will involve a steep learning curve.
We wrapped with what will come next, in the first month of 2024. While plans differed, one thing was certain, we all have to find the space to reflect, consider next steps, and find the calm in this AI storm.
Thank you sooooo much Caryn, Graeme and Tessa â this is a session we look forward to every year and weâre certain you will too â donât miss this one!

In this session, we spoke with Beth Patterson, the Founder and Director of legal industry-focused tech consultancy, ESPconnect and an Adjunct Professor (Industry) at UTS Faculty of Law.
Bethâs career has the distinctive hallmark of being groundbreaking. The depth and breadth of her experience in tech and legaltech, in tech companies and law firms, as a consultant and educator, means she has a highly practical, global and unique perspective on where AI in the legal industry is going today.
Our discussion began with context - placing generative AI in the broader AI continuum - and moved into its impact on the legal industry. We are all still experimenting (testing and investing) in every industry, legal included, and we should be because there are still major issues with the tech that need to be worked out. However, what was also clear from our chat is the need for us to engage with the tech NOW because itâs not going away, not ever! Senior management in law firms know this (as do our clients) and theyâre driving the engagement with it, something that makes this tech journey different from others.
What AI will we end up with at the end of this journey? Beth opines it will be a portfolio - a combination of enterprise-wide tech and point solutions, with commercial models driving the selection of what you use, for what and when. But, integration will also remain key; data governance critical; and capabilities to identify pain points, choose and use/apply fit-for-purpose tech increasingly part of every solution and BAU.
The opportunities with AI in legal are plentiful for those who jump in â new roles, new responsibilities, new practice areas (or expanded), new revenue streams, increasingly refined LLMs that do more and do it better â itâs a brave old and new world which we will embrace with FOMO (Fear of Missing Out) or JOMO (Joy of Missing Out) â youâll definitely want to listen to or watch this session to see where you fall on the continuum!

In this session, we spoke with Jean Yang, the VP and Co-founder of Onitâs AI Center of Excellence. The Center is a note-worthy offering from a software vendor. Jeanâs journey to Onit seems like it was a natural progression. A former practising lawyer from New Zealand, she has spent most of her career so far (thereâs lots more still to come) at the leading edge of AI in legal and, that has now taken her to Onit in Austin, Texas.
Our discussion focussed on the application of AI in legal - how much that has changed this past year; emerging trends in AI uptake; whether itâs realistic to expect definitive use cases right now; and the challenges, opportunities, needs, expectations and reality of the tech becoming pervasive/BAU in the legal world next year or maybe later - itâs hard to look too far ahead in this space right now but we did a little AI crystal ball gazing!

In this session, we spoke with Michele DeStefano about how we can approach change, manage it and leverage it for the benefit of lawyer and allied legal professional wellbeing, for our clients, and legal businesses.
Michele knows a thing or two about this from her many roles as law professor, business founder, educator, consultant, and serial entrepreneur. Her work is visionary tempered with a strong dose of reality and, getting stuff done! Michele has been building the foundations, paving the road, and walking the talk of legal ecosystem transformation for many years and, helping others to do that successfully too.
We discussed what it will take to change the legal industry, the BIG pieces of the change puzzle - lawyer mindset, human-centred design, multidisciplinary collaboration and culture. We also chatted about how to combine the pieces in a way that creates sustained agility in a VUCA (volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous) world, it can be found in her most recent book (one of many already published with more to come), The Leader Upheaval Handbook: Lead Teams on an Innovation & Collaboration Journey with the 3-4-5 Method.

Generative AI has dominated tech meetings, conversations, debates and demonstrations this year. Weâve been impressed, intimidated, inspired and disillusioned by the tech, so now almost a year since ChatGPT launched, is GenAI REALLY a game-changer? Is it the ultimate catalyst and influencer? Can it/should it sustain its impact on the legal world through pivotal roles like legal ops?

Itâs been almost a year since ChatGPT launched! For many of us, that opened the door to a new world â new concepts, new terms, confusion, frustration, exhilaration â a whole lot of stuff to understand, implement and manage. We needed guidance but the sort that shines a light on where to go and doesnât require us to build the flashlight first.
It takes a special combination of capabilities to do that, not everyone has them but determining who does, who doesnât, and asking the right questions to engage the right person to assist can be hard, especially in new and emerging areas of expertise. Get the match right, and it can jump a legal business ahead in leaps and bounds. Get it wrong, and it will do the opposite but worse, create a culture of inertia that can last for years.
We spoke with someone who knows all about that, Josh Kubicki, the Co-founder and Business Designer of Bold Duck Studio and author of The Brainyacts Generative AI Newsletter. Joshâs deep experience in the legal ecosystem most particularly in advising on, leading, and delivering legal services done differently, qualifies him as someone who knows what it takes to make a contemporary legal business work and who it takes to do that too.
Joshâs work in the legal generative AI space is outstanding. He has combined his passion for tech, design, education, writing, and innovation with an entrepreneurial flare to produce a powerhouse of resources (check out The Brainyacts website) - videos, blogs, newsletters, checklists - to help the legal world embrace generative AI.
We spoke with Josh about one of his many projects, the AI Expert Checklist â itâs like a mini-CV for your next AI presenter so you can be sure to engage someone who really knows their stuff. In so many ways it typifies the work Josh is doing in this space â pragmatic, thoughtful, insightful, user-friendly, cutting-edge, and ground breaking â we know youâre going to enjoy this conversation just as much as we did!
