About
I completed my LLM and the Certificate of Qualification in Canada and am a Licensing Candidate with the Law Society of Ontario. I further honed my skills by attending the Paralegal Certificate Program at Vancouver Community College and working as a paralegal with leading law firms and legal aid in BC, Canada, for over ten years. I have also attended professional training courses from the Law Society of British Columbia.
My extensive experience in Canada and Pakistan has given me a profound understanding of the legal systems in these countries.
My journey in the legal field has been one of continuous growth and learning. Recently, I have held the pivotal role of General Counsel (GC)/ Chief Law Officer (CLO) of an electric utility company based in Pakistan. This leadership position allowed me to apply my legal expertise in a strategic and managerial capacity.
Prior to this, I have accumulated 10 years of experience as a lawyer, and another 10 years as a Legal Advocate, and Paralegal with leading law firms and legal aid organizations in BC Canada.
Experience
I have 20 years of experience in the legal industry, working in various roles, including lawyer, paralegal, legal assistant, and Legal Advocate. I have volunteered with various settlement and non-profit organizations providing mentoring and legal services to newcomers in Canada, and my journey in the legal field has been one of continuous growth and learning.
