Hey, I'm Angelie!
Lawyer by training, operator by instinct, focused on the future of legal work.
About me
I'm a storyteller, whether it's crafting persuasive legal pleadings, or writing my South Asian inspired fantasy novel.
I'm a romantasy enthusiast, a newbie boxer, and love painting and writing.
I studied business at the Ivey Business School at Western University before graduating from law school at Osgoode Hall.
I currently practice corporate commercial litigation at Osler, Hoskin & Harcourt LLP (a seven sister law firm) in Toronto.
What I'm looking for
Working in corporate litigation gave me a close look at how high-stakes legal work actually happens: the strategy, the pressure, the client problems, and also the tedious workflows that slow everything down. It made me want to make legal work faster, more accessible, and more useful to the people and businesses that rely on it.
What I do
I'm experienced in the full litigation lifecycle including researching to inform strategy, drafting persuasive pleadings, factums, and motion materials, preparing for examinations (depositions) and trial, engaging in settlement negotiations, and strategizing in mediations and arbitrations.
I have worked with complex corporate commercial litigation files including:
- contractual disputes
- class actions
- corporate governance
- tax
- construction lien disputes
- environmental compliance
- government benefits
- constitutional challenges
- labour and employment
I learn quickly, execute sharply, and can thrive autonomously.
Where I'm from
I'm originally from Mississauga, Ontario (home of the best shawarma and hakka food).
What's on my mind (Legal AI Edition)
AI creates an uncomfortable question: was the client paying for legal judgement, or the inefficiency of producing legal work?
The legal system was designed around scarcity of legal help. What does the landscape look like when that scarcity changes?
How will tools balance the moat of managing context (client, matter, firm) while maintaining data privacy and ethical walls?
Access to justice is the most morally compelling legal AI story and the least obvious business model.
