Toronto, Inside Legal KM, May 21

Designing the semantic layer, governance, and retrieval architecture that makes legal AI safe to scale.

Law Firms are learning a hard truth: the limiting factor isn’t the AI model, it’s the knowledge environment the model depends on.

Inside Legal KM is a senior, practitioner-led working forum for law firms and in-house legal teams building the next generation of knowledge capability: AI-ready, governed, auditable, and embedded into real workflows.

Taking place in Toronto May 21st, this program will provide a practical, strategic discussion about Knowledge Management as the operating system of modern legal work, and as the foundation beneath drafting systems, search experiences, agentic workflows, client transparency, and defensible governance.

Join your peers, join the discussion.

What we’ll focus on in Toronto

• KM as the gatekeeper for AI:  Why knowledge quality, taxonomy, retention, and stewardship have become pre-conditions for trustworthy AI output, and how leading teams are formalizing “AI-ready KM” baselines.
  
• The semantic layer - metadata, taxonomy, and meaning:  How firms are strengthening metadata frameworks, practice ontologies, and domain models so retrieval is precise, explainable, and usable by both humans and machines.
  
• From search to retrieval-to-reliability: Moving beyond “we added RAG” toward retrieval that holds up to legal standards: permission-aware access, provenance, evaluation, and repeatable performance (not impressive demos).
  
• Architecting governed retrieval in real firm stacks:  How KM intersects with DMS, intranets, CRM, CLM, precedents, playbooks, and matter security, and what “integration” means when AI is embedded into daily workflows.
  
• Orchestrated knowledge delivery and agentic workflows:  Conversational interfaces, task-oriented AI, and multi-step “agent” patterns are changing expectations, and putting pressure on KM to deliver the right knowledge in the right context, at the right time.
  
• Risk, auditability, and trust as design constraints:  Controlling prompt sprawl, stale precedents, memory/retention drift, confidentiality boundaries, and data leakage, with governance that is enforced through architecture, logging, and lifecycle controls.

Who Attends

Inside Legal KM Toronto is designed for senior leaders responsible for how knowledge is captured, governed, activated, and delivered across legal organizations, including:

• Chief Knowledge Officers & KM Leaders
• Knowledge & Innovation Directors
• Practice Support, PSLs, Knowledge Lawyers, and Legal Training / PD leaders
• CIOs, IT Leaders, and Enterprise / Data Architects working with KM teams
• Legal Operations and Practice Operations Leaders
• Information Governance, Risk, Compliance, and Security leaders involved in AI deployment
• Partners and practice leaders shaping delivery transformation
  

Why Attend

This forum is built for leaders who are:

• Being asked to prove AI value while also controlling risk
• Navigating tool proliferation and integration complexity
• Struggling with fragmented knowledge across repositories
• Trying to standardize governance, retention, and quality signals at scale
• Under pressure to move from “pilot wins” to production reliability

Our Speaking Faculty

We are curating a senior, practitioner-led faculty for Inside Legal KM: Toronto and welcome proposals from those actively shaping how knowledge is designed, governed, and delivered inside legal organizations.

Would you like to:

• Share a real-world case study on building AI-ready knowledge foundations (taxonomy, metadata, lifecycle, precedents)?
• Lead a panel discussion on KM operating models, governance, or retrieval reliability?
• Facilitate a practical workshop on semantic layer design, embedded KM workflows, or evaluation of retrieval systems?
• Explore sponsorship or partnership opportunities to engage a senior community of KM, innovation, legal operations, and technology leaders?
