Shaikh Law Firm, which operates online as SLC Lawyer, is based in Mississauga and was founded by Ali Shaikh. Its head office sits at 218 Export Boulevard, in the Airport Corporate Centre business park, and the firm handles corporate and business law, real estate, family law, wills and estates, civil litigation, immigration, and criminal defence. The firm describes its team as carrying over 30 years of combined legal experience and traces its roots back three generations.

That history starts in 1973, when Ali Shaikh's father, Mumtaz Ahamed Shaikh, entered the legal profession in Pakistan and went on to practise as a Senior Advocate of the Supreme Court of Pakistan. Ali Shaikh built a career spanning more than 26 years across two countries, called to the Bar of England and Wales in 2000, then managing the family's Pakistan practice for over a decade and teaching business and company law for close to ten years before immigrating to Canada. Ali Shaikh was called to the Manitoba Bar in 2013 and the Ontario Bar in 2016, and the firm's own history page credits the founder with over 45 reported cases in corporate, constitutional, and intellectual property matters.

Academic credentials listed on the firm's site include an LLB from the University of Buckingham, a Bar-at-Law qualification from Lincoln's Inn and BPP Law School, graduate law degrees from Warwick and Cardiff, and an International Human Rights Law programme at Oxford. The about page also notes that two of the founder's children are now entering the legal profession, continuing a family line that has practised law across three generations.
