Arash Ehteshami
Lawyer | Problem Solver
Tenancy law is much more than a practice area to me, which is why I strive to assist my clients in the best and most cost-effective way that I can. I have been helping landlords and tenants since before attending law school, volunteering my time with non-profits and pro-bono organizations that help individuals navigate housing-related issues. And as someone who has been in the position of both landlord and tenant, I can understand some of the challenges faced by both. I look forward to the opportunity to help you with your tenancy dispute.
Alongside English, I speak German and Farsi fluently, and am currently learning Hindi in my spare time.

Niika Atwal
Paralegal | Relationship Builder
With a focus on client engagement, I aim to provide exceptional service in an otherwise difficult situation for our clients. As an aspiring lawyer, I understand the need for seamless communication between our clients and our legal team. My background in clinical genetics, and as a Taekwondo Instructor, ensures that I’m able to adapt to any environment.

Saul Benary
Associate | Solution Seeker
Before my call to the bar, I had an enriching career in business and 2SLGBTQIA+ activism that gave me a wealth of life experience that I now get to draw on when assisting clients. Since becoming a lawyer, I’ve also had the privilege of working at a dynamic, medium-sized law firm where I’ve dedicated myself to helping clients stand up for their rights, both in and out of court. My aim is to use my diverse background to find the best solutions for you, so you can return to focusing on what truly matters in your life.

Elmira Rasaie
Legal Assistant | Efficiency Expert
With a background in architecture and legal administration, I bring a unique perspective to my role as legal assistant. After moving to Canada three years ago, I transitioned from design to law, driven by a passion for advocacy and helping others navigate the legal system. I’m generally the person you talk to first when you contact our office, and I aim to ensure that your needs are met. Outside the office, I’m an avid nature lover who enjoys exploring the outdoors and new adventures.
I am able to assist you in both English and in Farsi.

Isabela Soufia
Office Manager | Client Relations Expert
I moved to Canada from Brazil several years ago, and as a newcomer and tenant myself, and I know how hard it can be to find a good place to live. I have more than 10 years’ experience in administration – both in large corporations and small businesses, and as part of the Bright Law team I handle most administrative work. I am fluent in both Portuguese and English, and I can communicate effectively with people from different backgrounds and cultures.
