Four leading lawyers who’ve done the work discuss governance and change management
Canadian lawyers can no longer afford to treat artificial intelligence as a future concern. Clients expect it. Regulators are watching it. And across estates and trusts, corporate counsel, litigation, and family law, AI is already changing how legal work gets done
The question of whether AI belongs in your firm has been answered. What remains is how to bring it in properly. The firms with a clear, responsible implementation plan will be the ones best positioned to serve their clients and protect their practice.
On September 22, WEL Partners and Hull & Hull LLP are coming together for a 60-minute webinar: AI for Lawyers: Building Your AI Implementation Plan. The session is designed to give Canadian legal professionals a practical, precedent-backed framework for AI adoption, covering change management, governance, confidentiality, and the tools your team needs to hit the ground running.
A session built for practitioners
Implementing AI in a legal practice is not purely a technology problem. It’s a change management challenge that demands careful attention to accuracy, confidentiality, and compliance. The first step is understanding where the friction is and planning for it, including selecting appropriate tools and building the internal processes to oversee their use.
Kimberly Whaley, founding and managing partner at WEL Partners; Bryan Gilmartin, co-managing partner at WEL Partners; Ian Hull, LSM, co-founding partner at Hull & Hull; and Suzana Popovic-Montag, managing partner at Hull & Hull bring decades of combined expertise in estates, trusts, and fiduciary law to this session. They draw on first-hand experience having implemented AI tools and processes within their own firms.
Key takeaways
Attendees will leave with:
- The why and how of AI in Canadian legal practice, and what it means for your firm and your clients
- Helpful resources to support informed and responsible AI adoption across your team
- Change management tools to get your people on board and your processes aligned
- A clear starting point for AI integration, and a roadmap for where to take it next

New AI tools for legal practice are arriving faster than most firms can evaluate them. Engaging with these tools requires strategic implementation and proactive management to deliver on their value and avoid risk. That’s where the real work is now.
