The Ontario Bar Association (OBA) is proud to partner with the International Legal Technology Association (ILTA) in exploring the transformative role of Artificial Intelligence in legal practice.

This timely program brings together experts in law and technology to share insights, strategies, and best practices for adopting AI responsibly and effectively in legal practice and organizational settings.

Our top-notch faculty of lawyers and legal technologists will share practical insights into:

• Generative AI Use in the Practice of Law – Understanding the boundaries of responsible use and navigating professional obligations.
• How to Assess and Evaluate AI Tools – Evaluating available solutions to best align with client needs, practice pain points and firm strategy.
• AI as a Tool, Not a Substitute, for Legal Expertise – Maximizing benefits while preserving the lawyer’s critical role in judgment, quality, and client trust.

Join us for this important dialogue at the intersection of law and innovation, and gain actionable strategies for integrating AI responsibly and effectively into your practice or organization.

Following the program, all OBA and ILTA members are invited to a networking social, offering a valuable opportunity to connect with peers, make new connections, share insights, and continue the conversation.
