Member of the Law Society of Ontario, Law Society of Saskatchewan, and the Bar Council of Punjab and Haryana
A versatile Advocate with a proven track record across multiple jurisdictions, I bring a wealth of diverse experience to every case I handle.
My legal journey began with an academic foundation, earning a Bachelor of Commerce in 2014 before completing my LLB in 2019 from the prestigious Khalsa College, Amritsar. I established myself as a Criminal Defence Lawyer after joining the District Bar of Amritsar, where I advocated for clients in criminal matters.
After demonstrating my legal acumen by clearing the All India Bar Examination in 2020, I expanded my practice to the appellate level at the Punjab and Haryana High Court. During this period, I built a reputation for litigating bail applications and trial matters.
My commitment to professional growth led me to complete the National Committee on Accreditation (NCA) process in 2021, opening the door to legal practice in Canada. As a Law Graduate Assistant at Merchant Law Group LLP in Regina, I provided essential support to senior attorneys across multiple practice areas, including criminal law, class actions, civil litigation, family law, immigration, and real estate matters. This multifaceted experience equipped me with a comprehensive understanding of Canadian legal frameworks and client service excellence.
In 2023, I achieved another professional milestone by successfully passing the Ontario Bar Exams. I spent a year honing my skills as a well-rounded practitioner before establishing my own law office in May 2025, where I continue to serve clients with unwavering dedication and personalized attention.
My dual-jurisdiction experience and diverse practice background allow me to offer clients unique insights and effective representation across a wide spectrum of legal matters.
