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 Tracey

Principal Engineer, End User Compute

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 Harrilal

Principal Architect, Purview & Copilot Studio

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 Canalini

Founder & CEO

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.
