About Us

A Three-Generation Legacy of Legal Excellence

Shaikh Law Firm is built on a proud family tradition of legal service spanning more than five decades. Our story began in 1973, when our founder’s father Mr. Mumtaz Ahamed Shaikh, entered the legal profession in Pakistan. Over the years, he rose to become a respected Senior Supreme Court of Pakistan Advocate known for his integrity, strong advocacy, and unwavering commitment to justice. His dedication to the law became the foundation of a legacy that continues to inspire our firm today.

Following in his footsteps, Ali Shaikh developed his own distinguished legal career abroad, earning recognition from The Legal 500 in Pakistan and being listed among the leading lawyers in Pakistan. After immigrating to Canada, he rebuilt his legal career from the ground up, establishing a thriving Ontario law practice grounded in professionalism, hard work, and client-focused service.

Today, the third generation is preparing to join the profession. Both his daughter and son are in the process of entering legal practice, continuing the values and traditions that have guided the family for decades.

Shaikh Law Firm is more than a law practice it is a legacy, a commitment, and a promise carried forward across generations.

Our Mission

Our mission is to provide strategic, clear, and results-driven legal services rooted in integrity, compassion, and excellence.

We are committed to guiding clients with honesty, transparency, and respect, while delivering modern, efficient, and client-focused legal solutions that protect their rights and advance their goals.

Ali Shaikh

Ali Shaikh is the founder of Shaikh Law Firm, bringing over 26 years of international and Canadian legal experience to his practice. After being called to the Bar of England & Wales in 2000, he returned to Pakistan to continue the family legacy and managed his father’s longstanding law practice for more than a decade. During this time, he built a respected litigation and commercial practice and was ranked by The Legal 500 among the leading attorneys in Pakistan—a recognition of his professional competence and reputation.

Throughout his career in Pakistan, Ali appeared in numerous significant matters and achieved over 45 reported cases, spanning corporate disputes, constitutional challenges, administrative law, banking and finance litigation, and intellectual property matters. His advocacy, strategic insight, and strong command of the law earned him a prominent standing in the legal community.

Alongside his litigation practice, Ali dedicated nearly ten years to legal academia, teaching Business Law, Company Law, Contract Law, and Shipping Law at S.M. Law College and SZABIST across LL.B and LL.M programs, including the University of London External Programme. He also authored several legal publications, contributing to legal scholarship and education.

Ali’s academic background includes multiple advanced qualifications from world-renowned institutions:

LL.B – University of Buckingham
Bar-at-Law – The Honourable Society of Lincoln’s Inn / BPP Law School
LL.M (Law in Development) – University of Warwick
International Human Rights Law Programme – University of Oxford
LL.M (Maritime Law) – University of Cardiff

After a successful decade in Pakistan, Ali immigrated to Canada, where he was called to the Manitoba Bar in 2013 and later to the Ontario Bar in 2016. Starting anew in a different legal system, he rebuilt his career from the ground up, establishing a respected Ontario law practice known for professionalism, strategic advocacy, and exceptional client service.

Today, he represents clients across Corporate & Commercial Law, Family Law, Real Estate, Wills & Estates, and Civil Litigation, bringing global insight and local experience to every matter. He continues to lead Shaikh Law Firm with the same values that have defined his family’s legal tradition since 1973: integrity, excellence, and unwavering dedication to his clients.
