Michael Laskey Lawyer

My Expertise

Partner at a leading Canadian law firm, focused on competition and regulatory law. I explore how generative AI can reshape legal practice—from automating workflows like docketing and lease review to supporting more efficient, human-centered legal analysis. I’m especially interested in building practical AI tools that lawyers actually use.

Stikeman Elliott Legal Practice

I'm a partner at Stikeman Elliott LLP, where I focus on competition and regulatory law. I work closely with corporate clients, regulators, and global counsel on merger reviews and antitrust strategy.

OpenAI Generative AI

I'm actively building tools that use LLMs to automate and streamline legal workflows—like Kronos, a docketing app that converts Outlook data into billable time entries, and custom systems for lease analysis and document drafting.

Python React Azure GitHub Tech Stack

Most of my AI tools are built with Python (Azure Functions, SQL, Pydantic), React (Vite, MSAL), and integrated with Microsoft Graph, Azure OpenAI, and Claude Code. I deploy using GitHub, Azure, and sometimes Microsoft Fabric for data enrichment.
