Ethically Setting Up, Managing and Expanding an Immigration Practice

Since opening Jafari Law in 2012, Pantea has successfully helped hundreds of individuals and families looking to immigrate to Canada temporarily and permanently and to maintain their status once obtained.

Pantea obtained an honors BA in Individualized studies with a decided focus on human rights and international law from York University. She obtained her law degree from the University of Ottawa with a specialization in International Law.

As a first generation Canadian, Pantea is readily able to appreciate the experiences of those aspiring for a future in Canada, and those struggling to maintain the status they have acquired. Her ability to connect with the experiences of her clients not only enables her to better tell their stories and explain their circumstances, but to also advocate for result-oriented solutions in the at-times inflexible system of immigration rules and regulations.

Pantea has always been active in various legal and community organizations over the years, which volunteerism she has maintained since opening her practice. Presently, she serves on the executive of the Canadian Bar Association’s Anti-Racism Committee. She is a previous board member of the Ontario Bar Association’s Citizenship and Immigration Section and International Law Section, the Canadian Muslim Lawyer’s Association, the Iranian Canadian Legal Professionals, to name a few. She has also appeared before various Parliamentary Committees at the House and Senate level on
behalf of some of these organizations.

Prior to her legal practice, Pantea owned and operated a mid-sized corporation, worked for a foreign government drafting national child-welfare policies, and interned at an international law firm in Madrid, Spain.
