Canadian law firms are leading the world on AI adoption. According to LEAP Legal Software’s Profitability in Law: Global Report 2026, 43 percent of Canadian legal professionals say legal-specific AI tools are delivering their biggest gains in profitability and efficiency, the highest proportion of any market surveyed.

But what does adoption look like on a real file, in a practice defined by sensitive client situations and document-intensive work that gives no grace when it comes to inefficiency?

That question is what DivorceMate and LEAP Family Law are addressing this month with Smarter Family Law Starts with LEAP AI, a webinar series with sessions on September 10 (today!), September 15, September 24, and September 29, each beginning at 1 pm. The session pairs a 20-minute presentation with a live Q & A led by Christine Montgomery, VP Family Law at LEAP Family Law, and Daniela Do, Director of Content, Family Law at LEAP Family Law.

AI in your family law workflow

Family law is among the more challenging environments for legal technology. Matters involve calculations, forms, and documents specific to separation, support, asset division, alongside the emotional complexity and confidentiality requirements running through every matter. General legal AI tools, don’t always align with those demands.

LEAP Family Law has developed its AI capabilities specifically for this context, integrating them with the DivorceMate software platform users already rely on.

The webinar sessions centre on the AI tools built into LEAP and where each fits in the flow of a family law file.

LawY, LEAP's AI legal research assistant, functions as a live, on-demand research resource inside the platform. A user can put a legal question to it directly and receive a caselaw-grounded answer without stepping outside the workflow; another user working through a support variation application can immediately determine how recent decisions have defined material change and what factors the court is likely to weigh.

Matter AI works at the file level directly, capable of summarizing a matter, surfacing legal issues, comparing calculations, and generating correspondence from within LEAP. A practitioner returning to a complex file after several weeks, for example, can pull a summary of the state of play without working back through the file manually.

AI Prompts addresses the drafting demands that occupy significant time in family law practice. It generates complex affidavits and application facts for family law matters in a fraction of the time required to produce them from scratch. For a practitioner facing an urgent motion, the ability to hit the ground running with a solid first draft is significant.

The webinars are structured to show not just what each tool does in isolation, but where it provides lift across the stages of an actual matter.

Need an incentive to engage with AI?

Alongside the series, LEAP is running a September contest for active users. Any LEAP user who uses Matter AI 10 times and creates five separate LawY chats before September 30 is automatically entered for a chance to win one of four $250 gift cards. The qualifying activities are the same ones practitioners would complete on a real file, making the contest an incentive to engage with the tools in actual practice rather than in isolation, so practitioners see the difference for themselves.

The series arrives as the conversation in Canadian family law moves from whether to use AI to how to integrate it effectively. LEAP and DivorceMate are providing that roadmap.

Attend whichever date fits your schedule. Registration is open now for September 10 (LAST CHANCE!), September 15, September 24, and September 29.
