About U5Global Law

U5Global Law Professional Corporation helps clients across Ontario with the legal matters that shape their lives: buying and selling property, family issues, immigration, planning an estate, settling a civil dispute and getting documents certified. The practice grew out of a simple conviction: individuals and businesses alike should be able to reach skilled legal counsel, given with integrity, clarity and genuine care, and it's based in Waterloo.

Abid Khan is the founder and principal lawyer. Called to the Bar in Ontario, Khan started the firm to bring accessible, high-quality legal services to Ontario's diverse communities, and has extensive experience across three fields: real estate, immigration and family law.

The "Global" in the name stands for a commitment to a global community. U5Global Law is proud to serve Ontario's multicultural population with language access and cultural sensitivity, and it understands what newcomers, international families and global businesses need from a lawyer.

Consultations are available Monday to Friday, 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. The firm commits to responding within 24 hours, and anyone whose matter needs immediate legal attention is asked to phone directly rather than use the online form.

Practice areas

Purchases, title changes and refinancing

U5Global Law's property clients range from first-time buyers to investors, developers and commercial owners. Alongside purchases and sales, it handles adding or taking names off title, transfers within a family or out of an estate, and refinancing work that includes HELOCs and privately arranged mortgage loans.

Divorce, parenting and support

Family clients get help with both uncontested and contested divorces, and with custody agreements, parenting plans and rights of access. When a couple wants to settle without costly court proceedings, the firm offers mediation support.

Refugee work and Federal Court review

Immigration files run from temporary status, such as visitor visas and super visas, to RPD hearings, RAD appeals and humanitarian applications. When an application is refused or an immigration decision goes the wrong way, the firm brings judicial review in the Federal Court.

Wills, powers of attorney and probate

Estate planning work covers simple, mirror and complex wills shaped to the client's wishes, along with continuing powers of attorney for property and personal care. For families after a death, the firm handles the application for a Certificate of Appointment of Estate Trustee.

From Small Claims to Superior Court

U5Global Law acts for individuals and businesses in civil disputes across Ontario, from Small Claims Court to the Superior Court of Justice, including boundary, ownership and landlord and tenant matters. Its practice is to explore negotiation, mediation and arbitration before moving to full court proceedings.

Flat-rate notarization, often within a day

Notary work is charged at flat rates and is often done the same day or the next. Typical requests include witnessing a passport application, certifying immigration papers, notarizing a power of attorney, and authenticating Canadian documents so they can be used abroad.

How U5Global Law works

Clients can expect to be heard before they're advised: U5Global Law commits to meeting every client with genuine empathy, so listening comes first and advice second, with the client's interest always guiding what it does. Its policy is to answer every inquiry promptly, process documents efficiently and make sure nothing falls through the cracks on a file. The firm also aims to keep pricing competitive and transparent, with flexible arrangements so that everyone can get the legal help they need.
