Aly Háji

Associate

He’s a lawyer, he’s an MBA, he’s ALY HAJI! While Aly has an “impeccable pedigree”, he’s no pampered pooch! We think of him as a modern Renaissance man, with a mastery of the sciences, law, and business strategy. Aly graduated from McGill University with Common and Civil Law degrees and an MBA, clerked at the Supreme Court of Canada, and then completed a Masters in Law at the University of Cambridge with a focus on regulatory law and artificial intelligence. Are you tired yet? Before this academic sojourn, Aly was trained as a pharmacist at the University of Toronto. After collecting five (5!) degrees, he acted as a prosecutor for various regulatory and health colleges, including the College of Pharmacists and College of Teachers. After that, Aly practiced at a high-end Bay Street litigation boutique amongst their “apex litigators.” He has also developed theories of regulation for the federal government and published articles in leading regulatory journals. A self-professed “nerd”, with a penchant for a fine pen (sorry: “writing instrument”) and a Kaiju movie, Aly has a special interest in the use of AI in law and regulation, and the intersection of public policy and regulatory frameworks. Aly truly can’t be pigeon-holed; with his insatiable thirst for knowledge and his practical, passionate advocacy, Aly has the special interest and unique skills to represent healthcare professionals and other regulated professionals in employment and disciplinary matters. He is a force to be reckoned with.
