The partnership expands access to AI-powered contract tools for the Canadian Bar Association’s network of approximately 40,000 legal professionals

Spellbook, the leading AI solution for commercial lawyers, today announced a two-year partnership with the Canadian Bar Association (CBA), making Spellbook the CBA’s exclusive provider of AI-powered contract drafting and review tools.

This strategic partnership will see Spellbook serve the CBA’s network of approximately 40,000 lawyers, judges, notaries, and law students across Canada, offering members preferred access to its AI-powered platform, which works directly inside Microsoft Word, to help lawyers draft, review, and negotiate contracts up to 10x faster with greater precision.

“This is a significant milestone for Spellbook and a signal of how quickly AI is becoming part of everyday legal work,” said Scott Stevenson, CEO and co-founder of Spellbook. “We’re proud to support CBA members as they navigate AI with the confidence, standards, and judgement the legal profession demands. As a Canadian company, earning the trust of the nation's preeminent bar association is particularly meaningful.”

During the two-year exclusive partnership, CBA members will receive 20% off annual Spellbook licenses, providing them access to its full suite of contract drafting, review, and redlining tools, including Compare to Market, a newly launched feature that lets lawyers compare key contract terms against real market data from thousands of similar agreements, with breakdowns by industry, jurisdiction, and deal type.

“The CBA is committed to helping Canadian lawyers take advantage of the opportunities provided by AI, while maintaining high ethical standards,” said Bianca Kratt, K.C., President of the Canadian Bar Association. “In developing this partnership, we’ve placed particular emphasis on security and privacy protections. For example, CBA members who access Spellbook services through the CBA Advantage program can be confident that their data will be stored on Canadian soil and that their confidential information will not be used to train AI models.”

Spellbook is trusted by more than 4,000 law firms and in-house legal teams in 80 countries, including teams at Dropbox, eBay, LightSpeed, McInnes Cooper and Kennedys, and has reviewed over 10 million contracts to date. Built specifically for legal work, Spellbook analyzes contracts against best practices, flags risks, suggests improvements, and helps lawyers move faster without sacrificing quality. The CBA partnership marks Spellbook's largest institutional partnership to date and significantly expands its footprint in the Canadian market.
