Mar 03, 2026

   

In this episode of CL Talk, Canadian Lawyer managing editor Tim Wilbur speaks with McMillan LLP CEO and managing partner Bruce Chapple and Legora CEO and co founder Max Junestrand about the firm’s decision to roll out Legora’s generative AI platform across the law firm. They unpack how the partnership came together, what “meeting lawyers where they are” looks like in practice, the early use cases in litigation, transactions and drafting, and how they are handling security, data protection and professional responsibility. Chapple and Junestrand also talk candidly about lawyer skepticism, change management and where they see AI taking law firm workflows in the next few years.
