About Pervez & Pervez Law

Pervez & Pervez Law is a small, virtual-first firm based in Cambridge, Ontario, in Waterloo Region. It's co-founded by Dahlia Pervez and Khizer Pervez, both lawyers licensed in Canada and the United States. Instead of a traditional storefront, the firm works with clients across Ontario and, on cross-border matters, in the U.S., and it offers evening and weekend appointments alongside regular hours.

The practice is built around businesses and the people who run them. Core areas include corporate and commercial law, immigration for Canada and the U.S., intellectual property such as trademarks and copyright, employment, wills and estates, and real estate. A good deal of the work crosses the border: the firm advises on choosing and registering a business across Canadian and U.S. jurisdictions, on cross-border contracts, and on U.S. work-visa strategies like the L-1, TN, and H-1B. It also offers fractional general counsel, acting as an outside legal department for startups and growing companies. Both founding partners earned law degrees at Michigan State University College of Law and are admitted in Ontario and Michigan, and one also holds a Master of Laws from Osgoode Hall Law School at York University.

The neighbourhood

Cambridge sits at the confluence of the Grand and Speed rivers and took its current shape in 1973, when the former Galt, Preston, and Hespeler communities and the settlement of Blair were amalgamated into one city in Waterloo Region. It's a manufacturing city (Toyota's Canadian plant is the largest employer, alongside companies in automation and food processing), which lines up with a practice weighted toward corporate, commercial, and employment work.

Because Pervez & Pervez Law runs as a virtual firm, its clients aren't limited to one neighbourhood or even to Cambridge. The firm meets people across Ontario and, on cross-border files, in the United States, so the Cambridge address is more of a home base than a place clients need to visit.
