Most legal professionals are already using generative AI — but nearly half of firms have no AI policy, no training, and no way to verify what's reaching clients and courts. That gap is "shadow AI," and managing it lands squarely on legal operations.
In this 15-minute session, Nate Wiersma, VP Sales at Supra ITS (a Canadian-owned Canon Managed IT Partner), cuts through the noise with a practical playbook: where AI is delivering real results in Canadian firms today, where firms are getting burned, and three concrete moves — See it, Contain it, Prove it — that take a firm from ungoverned AI use to a defensible, firm-wide approach.
The session includes a live demonstration of PumkinAI, Supra's enterprise AI platform, showing governed AI agents in action on two legal workflows: enterprise search across firm knowledge, and automated first-pass contract review — with the verification and confidentiality controls your law society expects built in.
Attendees will leave with:
- A clear picture of the shadow-AI risk hiding in most firms — and who owns fixing it
- Three practical moves to govern AI use, aligned with law society expectations
- A first-hand look at what governed, Canadian-hosted AI actually looks like in practice
