Negin has a practice that focuses on family law and general commercial civil litigation. Negin has assisted clients with a broad range of matters. In civil litigation she has assisted with letters of demand, negotiations for settlement, mediation, and obtaining preservation orders and Norwich orders. She has appeared before the BC Human Rights Tribunal, the Provincial Court of British Columbia, and the Supreme Court of British Columbia, and has obtained favourable results for her clients in all three.
During her undergraduate studies, Negin helped run the women’s centre at Simon Fraser University as part of its collective. After her undergraduate studies and before law school, Negin then worked as a full time volunteer at a support centre for battered women. There she worked as the first point of contact when clients came through the door. Her ability to put people at ease during some of the most challenging moments of their lives helped clients survive through escalated crisis situations. At the support centre, Negin also taught classes on the cycle of abuse and life skills needed to move on from the devastating situations the women who accessed those services faced. Negin is passionate about truth-telling and enabling her clients to tell their stories through her advocacy.
Prior to coming to YLaw, Negin worked for four years as both a solicitor and litigator at a full service business law firm in Vancouver. She drafted contracts, taught seminars, and wrote legal opinions and editorial pieces on technology matters and emerging areas of law.
Negin remains dedicated to upholding the highest standards of professionalism and integrity.
