BIOGRAPHY

Yasamin Pouragheli is a collaborative, results-driven litigator whose practice focuses on tort and insurance defence. Known for being approachable and straightforward, she helps institutional clients navigate disputes with clarity and steady judgment. Her work spans motor vehicle defence, occupiers’ liability, property damage, and product liability matters, drawing on practical experience to advance efficient and cost-effective strategies against seasoned trial counsel.

Yasamin’s advocacy is grounded in a holistic, trial-ready perspective: she assesses long-term exposure early, develops a coherent case narrative, and communicates options plainly so clients can make strategic decisions with confidence. This disciplined, human-centred approach supports timely resolution when appropriate and firm litigation when necessary.

Beyond her practice, Yasamin contributes to the profession through Canadian Defence Lawyers, where she serves on the Young Lawyers Committee and engages in community-building within the trial bar. Her professional involvement reflects a commitment to mentorship, collegiality, and continuous improvement in advocacy.

Clients and colleagues consistently describe Yasamin as upbeat, social, and open in her communication—qualities that foster trust and productive file management. Outside of work, she enjoys hot yoga, hiking, and time in nature, bringing the same focus and discipline to her life beyond the courtroom.
