Accepts Legal AidAbout Sekhar Law Office
Sekhar Law Office, formally Swathi Sekhar Professional Corporation, is a solo immigration and refugee law practice in midtown Toronto, on Eglinton Avenue West. The firm was founded by Swathi Sekhar, who was called to the Ontario bar in 2013 after a Juris Doctor from Osgoode Hall Law School and a B.A. Honours in International Development Studies from McGill University. The practice covers family sponsorship, refugee claims and appeals, humanitarian and compassionate applications, immigration detention matters, and work, study, and visitor permits, and it accepts Legal Aid Ontario certificates for clients who qualify.
Before opening the firm, Sekhar spent time abroad during law school, running a prisoner justice project in Malawi and working at the University of Cape Town's Refugee Rights Project legal clinic in South Africa. That international grounding carries into a Toronto practice built around detention and refugee law, including constitutional challenges to Canada's immigration detention system, such as habeas corpus rights and time limits on detention. The firm also states it aims to offer a safe space for LGBTQ+ clients navigating the immigration system.
