In 2010, after practising immigration law on Bay Street for 12 years with international law firms and achieving partnership, I decided to make a change. I wanted to build a new life and a new kind of law firm. I wanted a balanced lifestyle. Nine years ago, I moved to Calgary to be closer to my family, launched my immigration-law firm and adopted my two children.
Our “why” is to make the process easier and less stressful. We have a purpose beyond profitability. We each have a personal “why” we seek balance. Knowing our “why” ignites our passion and empathy for those we serve. We remember every day the sacrifices that many families make to immigrate.As a single parent in a demanding career, flexibility is vitally important to me. My balanced life requires adaptability and I recognize that my team also needs flexibility. That’s why our office has flexible working hours and technology to allow working offsite or from home.
We also recognize what makes us each unique – our superpowers that are identified by other team members. Mine is my “spidey-sense”, a reminder to trust my intuition. Another‘s superpower is her chameleon-like ability to relate to every potential client she encounters. And we call another team member “the Flash” because she is incredibly efficient at completing projects.
