Mark Kay — Associate General Counsel · LegalQuants

About

I am an in house lawyer who manages a team of lawyers within the Procurement Legal team for a large Canadian telecommunications and IT company. I regularly teach and mentor other lawyers on the use of GenAI for simple to more complex tasks. I was an early member of the Legal Quants and host a bi-weekly meeting in the Americas time zone where we discuss a variety of topics such as our coding set-ups, ideas, security concerns, quality of code and other exciting topics. I am not a software developer and have limited knowledge of programming languages (but am slowly learning). I use Gemini, Google AI Studio, Claude Code and our company's own GenAI solution called FueliX to develop legal applications.

Selected work

Redline Textflagship

I frequently get requests to quickly review a paragraph or two that a client sends in an email. Like most lawyers who live and die with redline I would copy to text and then change format - red, strikethough - and delete text and then change format -green, underlined - to show the changes to the client. I used Google AI Studio to develop an application that allows me to copy the text (or even an image) into a text box, edit in another text box, and show the redline version in another. I can copy the redline as text or an image as well as generate an email that show the redline, explains the changes, and provides the clean text

Playbook Generator

Fork of Kevin Keller's playbook generator. One of the great parts of being a Legal Quant is that we are cultivating a culture and mindset of seeing someone else's solution and looking for ways to adopt it for your own workflow. I added a web search and gave more options for the LLM (I use an OpenAI compatible proxy for my LLMs).

Issue List Generator

Reviews a contract and extracts out the redline and comments. This is used to generate an issue list that shows the redline, explains the change and provides a recommendation. This was originally developed for my company's own playbook but I have made it generic to allow the user to choose which party they are representing and also provide their own playbook. After the issue list is generated you can download the table and even generate an email to send to one of the people mentioned in the comments. The tagging of the assignee works best is you use an @person or Note to Person in the comment.
