Farhan completed his law degree in Pakistan before deciding to move to Canada to pursue his Master of Laws under the Schulich Scholarship. Following completion of his Masters, Farhan joined MacGillivray Law as a research analyst, and continued to complete his articles under Jamie MacGillivray’s supervision. Farhan sees this as his responsibility as a lawyer to give back to the community and help clients injured in accidents due to another’s fault. Especially, Farhan wants to help immigrants like himself who are injured in accidents or denied insurance benefits, so that they get an equal opportunity to access justice.
Farhan speaks English, Urdu, Hindi, and Punjabi. He lives in Halifax with his wife, Sadaf, and their children. In his spare time, Farhan enjoys reading books and spending time with his family.
