From regulatory complexity and AI risk to burnout and shifting client demands, the legal profession is facing transformation on every front. On October 9 at the Canadian Legal Summit, we're bringing together professionals from across the legal spectrum for —in-house teams, private firms of all sizes, legal tech adopters, junior lawyers and senior leaders—to explore the questions shaping the future of legal work in Canada.
Because the challenges facing law today—AI, risk, burnout, equity, evolving client expectations—aren't isolated. They affect everyone across the ecosystem. We believe in the power of shared innovation, cross-sector insight, and building the future of law—together.
✔️ How are legal teams managing AI in a way that's safe, effective, and ethical?
✔️ What does a healthier, more sustainable legal career really look like?
✔️ How are firms—large and small—rethinking compensation, collaboration, and client value?
✔️ What tools are legal professionals using, and what's still missing?
