This week’s Woman of the Week #WOW is Anikah Ahmad! Anikah Ahmad is the principal lawyer and founder of ANA Law Professional Corporation. She studied political science at McMaster University and received her J.D. in Law at the University of Ottawa. During her time in law school, she has done incredible work for Pro Bono Students Canada, the Federal Economic Development Agency, and Law Help Ontario. As a strong leader and advocate for social justice she has frequently taken on many pro bono cases and volunteer positions to provide support to aspiring young lawyers! Before founding her law firm, she was a panel lawyer at the Ontario Ministry of the Attorney General and now, she seeks to assist clients with her wit and skills. "Hard work never goes unrewarded. My father used to tell me this throughout law school, when I felt things were too difficult. He made me realize that thing always work out, even if it's not in the way you expected. Your hard work uncovers paths that you never knew were in front of you. I believe hard work opened up the  unexpected doors for me today, where I am a lawyer and business owner running my own full service law firm.” - Anikah Ahmad Check out https://www.ana-lawfirm.com for more information!
