This was by far one of the best Podcasts I have done from the bed while super sick. It was totally worth it! The Globe and Mail to me is the equivalent of New York Times in Canada, and I was not going to miss this for the world! Thank you Jay Cockburn and Sarah Stockdale for this deep and meaningful talk.

For anyone going through a child custody dispute, these are the lessons I learned after a decade of practicing in this area. And I mean every single word: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HRcNtarZSRM&t=2s #childcustody #childcustodylaw #parentingtime #paretingtimebc #familylawyer #familylawvancouver

#3: Being recognized by Lexpert as one of Canada's leading lawyers has been a decade old dream of mine. And being the only family lawyer in Canada to achieve this incredible honour this year is another dream come true in itself. I end this year as one of the most memorable years of my career. But the biggest achievement for me this year has been helping those who reached out due to these awards. Waking up at 3 a.m. to mentor a Spanish law student, judging moot competitions... at 6 a.m after a sleepless night with the baby, connecting with some beautiful souls, presentations, seminars, donations. Giving, will always been my biggest achievement and I will spend the rest of my life doing it. Thank you, thank you, thank you my army of love for helping me get here. I promise I will give back #lexpert #risingstar #award #lawyer #lawfirm #ylaw #familylawyer #womentowatch #businesssuccess #business #career #job #law

Leena Yousefi's statement on the Globe and Mail's Top 400 Award for YLaw:

"I have no money for food. As I wash the dishes, I feel so hungry I actually grab someone’s half eaten nachos and eat them. I don’t feel ashamed." Real Life of a Lawyer Series will be dark and heart-wrenching at times, but it is the truth of my past. I am writing it now so that you know the person behind the media articles' history, and how I ended up getting here. ... Thank you for your support through all my vulnerabilities, and success, my army of love. #armyoflove #reallifeoflawyer #lifeoflawyer #lawyer #story #career #success #failure #business #leenayousefi #ylaw https://www.ylaw.ca//real-life-of-lawyer-blue-jacket-part/

At the age of 14, my job was washing dishes and smelling like Tacos everyday. To now be named the fastest growing law firm in Canada by two prestigious rankings is an honour I do not have too many words for. I have now become the only female lawyer in BC to ever make these rankings, and could not have done it without my support network. Thank you.... But staying true to myself means exposing all my vulnerabilities. Watch out for the Real Life of a Lawyer Series coming out on Monday.

The intersection of family law and immigration law is always interesting to us!

Announcement 1 of 3: YLaw has made history by becoming the first female-lead law firm to make the highest law firm ranking of Globe and Mail's Top 400 Growing Companies in Canada. I have also been honoured to be profiled by this incredibly prestigious publication at the link below. This year only 2 law firms made the Top 400 ranking, and YLaw was #1.... To get this award during a pandemic and while having an infant makes it that much more special for me. But I would be nothing without the love and support of our clients, peers, family and friends. Thank you for making it possible for us to make history! https://www.theglobeandmail.com//article-top-growing-comp/ #job #career #workingmom #awards #business #entrepreunership #businessawards #femalelead #femaleleadership #ranking #globeandmail #workhard #grit #determination #history #awardwinninglawfirm #lawfirm #lawyer #familylaw
