arzan Fallahpour’s legal career has  never belonged to                  only one system. She holds a Master’s degree in International Law from Shahid Beheshti University in Tehran and an LL.M. in Canadian Common Law from Osgoode Hall Law School at York University.

 

Her international legal background gives her a practical understanding of the gap that can exist between legal systems, cultures and expectations. That perspective has become especially relevant in her work with newcomers to Canada and clients whose legal histories began outside the Canadian common-law system.

Before becoming a lawyer, Farzan worked for more than three years as a licensed immigration consultant, focusing on refugee protection, temporary residence, humanitarian and compassionate applications and judicial reviews. That early experience became the foundation of her immigration and refugee practice.

Her practice has also expanded into intellectual property and entertainment law. Farzan completed a Certificate in Intellectual Property from Osgoode Hall Law School, has completed professional courses offered by the World Intellectual Property Organization, and is a member of the Intellectual Property Institute of Canada.

Today, she advises creators, businesses, startups and entrepreneurs on matters including trademark protection, copyright, licensing, creator and influencer agreements and broader intellectual-property strategy.

Across both sides of her practice, the work is different but the underlying question is often the same: how do you understand your rights clearly enough to make a better decision before a problem becomes harder to fix?
