Rakhmad Sobirov (Co-Founder, Managing Lawyer)
It is a great privilege to work with a team of professionals who are genuinely interested in helping our clients from different countries. We are interested in bringing the best and the brightest from those countries to Canada!
My teammates have experienced the challenges of being immigrants and bringing their families to Canada. They understand different cultures, speak foreign languages, and connect with clients on different levels. Our team’s features make us unique and allow us to be more client-centred and empathetic. I don’t hesitate to take on the most challenging immigration cases when I have such a focused and dedicated team! We always welcome those ready to join us and help future Canadians!
What should future employees know before joining our team?
It would be best if you realized that potential immigrants come to us seeking honesty, transparency, and genuine help in their immigration matters. Honesty requires that we explain all the strengths and weaknesses of their case. Transparency requires we use our best judgment to pursue the client’s best interests. Genuine help requires constantly improving ourselves as professionals to provide the best legal representation for our clients.

I love my job because it pushes me to grow constantly. I am on this journey of becoming a better professional, a better employer, a better mother, and a better human being. I always learn new things, experiment with new ideas, and interact with amazing people and businesses. I get great joy from helping my team members to find their strength and unleash their potential. It is gratifying to see how much growth we can jointly achieve in just one year. Working here doesn’t feel like a job; it is just a creative and fun way to learn and grow. I am grateful for this opportunity and for having excellent and supportive colleagues who help me grow and improve every day.
What should future employees know before joining our team?

It’s a very welcoming and collaborative environment. The team is very intentional and deliberate about making everyone feel welcomed and valued - whether it be through the general encouraging atmosphere, the collective dedication to growth and learning, the opportunity to be heard at every conceivable opportunity, and contribute to the growth and improvement of the firm (our service delivery standards, internal systems and processes, and to our own employee happiness).
