Lisa Danay Wallace is a Partner in the Information Technology and Intellectual Property Group. She advises clients on technology procurement, commercial transactions, and regulatory compliance, with a focus on drafting and negotiating complex agreements and providing strategic guidance to both customers and vendors on managing technology relationships – whether entering into, maintaining, or exiting the arrangement.
Lisa’s practice involves helping clients navigate the legal and commercial challenges of deploying emerging technologies like artificial intelligence. She advises on AI product development, risk allocation, and governance frameworks, including the use of third-party data, and responsible deployment practices. She also supports businesses integrating AI tools into their operations – balancing innovation with regulatory, contractual, and ethical considerations.
While in private practice throughout her career, Lisa has also gained in-house experience at a high-growth start-up and a payment network. This gives her a deep understanding of the practical challenges in-house counsel face when balancing legal and business priorities. She delivers pragmatic, business-focused advice that aligns with operational needs while protecting her clients’ interests.
Lisa represents both buyers and sellers of technology products and services, including SaaS providers, software developers, fintech companies, and enterprises procuring mission-critical technology. She helps technology companies structure agreements that meet customer expectations while maximizing value and managing risk.
An active member of the legal and technology communities, Lisa serves on the executive and Board of the Canadian Technology Law Association (CAN-TECH), is a member of the CAN TECH Women in Tech committee and Co-Chairs WeirFoulds Women Committee. She is also a leader in advancing women in law and technology.
