Steven LeBlanc-Gauthier

Experience

Steven leads BD&P AI enablement, identifying emerging technologies, evaluating strategic opportunities and helping the firm and its clients respond to how artificial intelligence is changing the delivery of legal services. His work focuses on how AI, automation, analytics, data-centric systems, and process design can augment professional judgment, improve quality and reduce repetitive work across legal and business functions.

Working with lawyers, staff, and clients, Steven identifies practical uses for AI and legal technology, translates complex technical concepts into usable workflows, and supports technology initiatives that improve how legal work is performed. He has spent his career applying technology and process innovation to solve complex legal and business challenges and has extensive experience in business law, litigation support, eDiscovery, and legal operations. 

Steven also oversees BD&P’s litigation support and eDiscovery functions. He advises on early case assessment, advanced analytics, predictive coding, document review strategy, preservation, collection, production, trial preparation, and defensible technology-assisted workflows. Drawing on both traditional eDiscovery methodologies and emerging AI technologies, he helps clients gain access to critical information sooner, identify meaningful patterns and evidence more efficiently, and transform large volumes of data into actionable insight.

A committed trainer and mentor, Steven helps lawyers and staff develop the technical, analytical, and practical skills needed to deliver effective, efficient, and technology-enabled client service. 

Steven has worked with all levels of courts in Alberta, British Columbia, and Ontario, from Small Claims to the Supreme Court of Canada, across a broad range of civil litigation practice areas, including construction, commercial, corporate, business, aviation, personal injury, medical malpractice, labour, and regulatory matters. He also has experience with the Canadian Competition Bureau, Alberta Securities Commission enforcement matters, and Alberta Energy Regulator proceedings.
