Data Lifecycle Management
AI has changed what is at stake inside every firm. The same tools that make attorneys faster can also surface privileged data, client confidences, and matter files that were never meant to be seen. We help Am Law firms adopt Copilot, agents, and the broader AI ecosystem with the governance controls that keep sensitive data protected. Assess your exposure, deploy with confidence, and sustain governance as your firm and its tools evolve.
Governance is diligent work. It is the careful, methodical discipline of knowing where your sensitive data lives, controlling what every AI tool can do with it, and proving it to clients, regulators, and insurers. We have spent since 2016 doing exactly that work for Am Law 100 and 200 firms, and we have built it into a repeatable strategy: Assess, Deploy, Sustain.
AI Readiness Assessment and Agent Governance & IAM Assessment. We map exactly what your AI tools can currently reach, where oversharing concentrates, and where controls have gaps, then hand you a prioritized plan.
Copilot Deployment & Governance Framework and Agentic AI Implementation. We put the guardrails in place, classification, DLP, and access controls, so AI adoption happens on a governed foundation, not a hopeful one.
CaaP (Consulting-as-a-Platform, monthly). Governance is not a one-time project. Our recurring model keeps your controls tuned, your agents governed, and your posture current as tools and threats evolve.
Modernizing data governance with Microsoft Purview to strengthen visibility, protection, and compliance.

Whether architecting a firm's identity and messaging foundation or automating the work that keeps it running, Greg is one of the architects Am Law firms trust with their hardest problems.
Natasha owns Canalini's finance and operations function, from accounting, invoicing, and financial reporting to delivery logistics, vendor relationships, and engagement governance. A CPA candidate with an MBA in Accounting and a background in forensic accounting and financial systems, she brings the disciplined, methodical stewardship that keeps the firm running smoothly and its engagements aligned to strategy.
Michael leads business development at Canalini, building the relationships that bring Am Law 100 and 200 firms into the fold. Consultative by nature, he helps legal IT leaders navigate Microsoft governance, Copilot, and AI adoption, working closely with our technical team and Microsoft partners to match every firm with the right solution. He is known for turning first conversations into long-term partnerships.
Corey is the engineer behind Canalini's most demanding infrastructure migrations, with more than 25 years across Citrix, Azure Virtual Desktop, and the identity foundations that keep Am Law environments secure.
He specializes in the complex, high-stakes environments where reliability and security are non-negotiable. Just as often, though, it's his calm, friendly demeanor that clients remember: unflappable under pressure and genuinely easy to work with, Corey has earned a loyal following of firms who ask for him by name.
Denesh is the technical force behind Canalini's most advanced work, architecting solutions across the full Microsoft stack: Purview and Data Governance, Copilot Studio and AI agents, Entra ID, CI/CD pipelines, M365 Security and Azure infrastructure. He sets the standard for delivery, leads the firm's most cutting-edge governance, infrastructure & security engagements, and mentors the engineering team that lets Canalini scale. When a deal needs real architectural depth, Denesh is the one Am Law clients ask for.
Michael founded Canalini in 2016 to close a gap he saw in the legal technology world: Am Law firms needed a partner who understood both the Microsoft platform and the exacting confidentiality standards of legal practice. A decade later, he has built Canalini into the Microsoft governance partner of choice for Am Law 100 and 200 firms navigating the shift to AI.
Relationships come first in everything Michael does. Clients describe him as a straight shooter who acts in good faith and stands firmly behind his brand, and that reputation has become the foundation the firm is built on. He leads client strategy and delivery across Canalini's Am Law and enterprise relationships, guiding legal leaders through Copilot, data governance, and the diligent work of protecting privileged data in a new era. For Michael, earning and keeping a firm's trust is the whole point, and it is why so many of Canalini's client relationships have lasted for years.
