Colleen Coleman Wright has a unique perspective on the legal profession: "I see the law as putty. I like to twist it, turn it, and mold it into what my client needs — and that gets me out of bed every day."
A trained corporate commercial lawyer from Jamaica, Wright built a successful practice there over 15 years. But instead of resting on her laurels, she moved to Canada, redid her licensing exams, and founded Coleman-Lex Professional Corporation in downtown Toronto. Five years later, the boutique firm is thriving through word of mouth.
The firm's edge? It combines two internationally trained immigrant lawyers offering corporate commercial expertise at small firm prices, with a one-stop-shop that handles both business law and business immigration under one roof. For entrepreneurs eyeing the Canadian market, that means a seamless process from entity formation to immigration paperwork.
In the latest episode of the Main Street AI Podcast, Wright shares her honest and often funny take on AI adoption. She's most excited about AI's potential to boost back-office efficiency, but remains confident that technology won't replace the human touch in law.
