The series arrives at a pivotal moment in Canadian family law, where the discussion has shifted from *whether* to adopt AI to *how* to integrate it effectively.

LEAP Family Law and DivorceMate have announced a comprehensive AI webinar series titled "Smarter Family Law Starts with LEAP AI," designed to demonstrate the practical application of advanced artificial intelligence in legal practice. The series features sessions scheduled for September 10, September 15, September 24, and September 29, all commencing at 1 pm. Each session is structured to include a 20-minute presentation followed by a live question-and-answer segment, led by Christine Montgomery, VP Family Law at LEAP Family Law, and Daniela Do, Director of Content, Family Law at LEAP Family Law.

This initiative comes as Canadian law firms are increasingly recognized as global leaders in AI adoption within the legal sector. According to LEAP Legal Software’s "Profitability in Law: Global Report 2026," a significant 43 percent of Canadian legal professionals report that legal-specific AI tools are the primary drivers of their gains in profitability and efficiency. This figure represents the highest proportion among all markets surveyed, underscoring Canada's proactive stance on integrating AI into legal workflows.

Family law presents a uniquely challenging environment for general legal technology due to its inherent complexities. Matters often involve intricate calculations, specialized forms, and extensive documentation pertaining to separation, support, and asset division. These technical demands are compounded by the sensitive emotional aspects and stringent confidentiality requirements that permeate every case, making it difficult for generic AI solutions to provide adequate support.

Recognizing these specific needs, LEAP Family Law has developed its AI capabilities to be purpose-built for this context. These specialized tools are seamlessly integrated with the DivorceMate software platform, which is already a trusted resource for many legal professionals. This integration ensures that the AI solutions directly address the nuanced requirements of family law practitioners.

The webinar series will highlight several key LEAP Family Law AI tools. LawY, LEAP's AI legal research assistant, functions as an on-demand research resource embedded within the platform. It enables users to pose legal questions directly and receive caselaw-grounded answers without needing to navigate away from their current workflow. For instance, a practitioner working on a support variation application can instantly ascertain how recent decisions have defined "material change" and identify the factors courts are likely to consider.

Another powerful tool, Matter AI, operates at the file level, offering capabilities such as summarizing entire matters, surfacing critical legal issues, comparing complex calculations, and generating correspondence—all from within the LEAP environment. This allows a practitioner returning to a complex file after an absence to quickly obtain a comprehensive summary of its status without manual review. Furthermore, AI Prompts addresses the significant drafting demands in family law by generating complex affidavits and application facts in a fraction of the time traditionally required, providing a substantial advantage for urgent motions by delivering a solid first draft rapidly.

The webinar series is meticulously structured to illustrate not only the individual functionalities of each LEAP Family Law AI tool but also how they collectively enhance efficiency across various stages of an actual family law matter. This integrated approach demonstrates how LEAP's specialized AI tools can significantly improve document drafting, legal research, and overall matter management, aligning with the reported profitability and efficiency gains in the Canadian legal sector.

To further encourage practical engagement and adoption of these LEAP Family Law AI tools, LEAP is running a September contest for its active users. Any LEAP user who utilizes Matter AI 10 times and creates five separate LawY chats before September 30 will be automatically entered into a draw to win one of four $250 gift cards. This incentive encourages practitioners to integrate the tools into their daily practice, allowing them to experience the tangible benefits firsthand.

This timely series arrives as the conversation within Canadian family law has evolved from questioning *whether* to adopt AI to focusing on *how* to integrate it effectively into practice. LEAP and DivorceMate are positioning themselves to provide a clear roadmap for this crucial transition, offering guidance on leveraging AI for improved profitability and streamlined practice management in the complex field of family law.

Family lawyers should consider attending this webinar series to evaluate how LEAP and DivorceMate's specialized AI tools can enhance efficiency in document drafting, legal research, and matter management within their family law practice, potentially leading to improved profitability.
