Education:

Heart:

Punit grew up in a house full of women with grandparents as well as a twin sister. As the child of immigrant parents she noticed the challenges her parents experienced and the lack of representation reflected back in the professions around her family. This developed a desire to represent not only her own Sikh community but further all immigrant communities with a drive to make her clients feel safe and comfortable to seek legal representation.

Legal perspective:

As an articling student, Punit holds the belief that every client has the right to be heard and treated with respect. Punit believes that a client should feel safe discussing their legal issues and that an advocate should communicate with empathy and clarity to ensure they provide a safe space for each client.
