Bani Family Law is a Markham, Ontario firm dedicated exclusively to family law. Principal lawyer Shelly Banihashemi founded the firm in 2021, after being called to the Ontario bar in 2011 and practicing family law exclusively ever since, first clerking, articling, and working as an associate at two small family law firms in the GTA. Banihashemi is a certified collaborative family lawyer, trained to resolve matters through negotiation rather than litigation, and also appears before the Ontario Court of Justice and the Superior Court of Justice when a case has to go to court.
The office at 500 Hood Rd is a genuine home base rather than a satellite location, close to Highway 404, Highway 407, and Highway 7, and within reach of Markham neighbourhoods like Unionville, Cornell, Milliken, and Berczy Village. Associate lawyer Lemooriya Ananthan, who graduated from Osgoode Hall Law School in 2021 and was called to the Ontario bar in 2023, rounds out the team, handling divorce, support, parenting, and property matters for clients across Markham, Richmond Hill, and the wider GTA. Between them, Banihashemi and Ananthan offer consultations in English, Farsi, and Tamil, a fit for one of Canada's most diverse cities.
