A word from Kamran

I enjoy working for Bartier Perry because it takes its social responsibility seriously and devotes extensive resources to help those in need.  As a Pro Bono Senior Associate, I am able to combine my years of commercial law experience with my passion for social justice and human rights.  Among other areas, I get to work to improve indigenous communities’ access to justice, promote gender equality and empower people with disabilities, as well as drive Bartier Perry’s overall pro bono strategy.
