About Beigi Law
Beigi Law Professional Corporation is a small firm based in Richmond Hill, Ontario, with its office at 9050 Yonge Street. It was founded by Dr. Shaghayegh (Shay) Beigi, who was licensed as a barrister and solicitor in Ontario in 2022 and holds a JD and a research doctorate from Queen's University Belfast, completed in 2019, along with a BA (Honours) from the University of Waterloo. Beigi's doctoral dissertation, titled "Ex Gratia to Ex Lege: A Normative Framework Facilitating Refuge beyond the Borders of Canada," examined legal frameworks for people displaced across borders, and Beigi has represented clients before the Ontario Superior Court of Justice and the Federal Court of Canada.
The firm practices immigration and refugee law, family law, personal injury, and real estate. Personal injury files are handled by Sam Pitaro, of counsel to the firm, who was called to the Ontario bar in 1996 and now practices personal injury law exclusively, in English and Italian, covering claims from wrongful death and brain injury to statutory accident benefits disputes. On the real estate side, senior law clerk Christie S. has more than 13 years of experience closing residential purchases, sales, and mortgage refinances. Beigi Law's website also lists affiliated offices in other Canadian cities and in London and Johannesburg, though the Richmond Hill address is the only one it publishes in full.

Who handles what
The neighbourhood
Beigi Law's office sits on Yonge Street in Richmond Hill, the road that has run through the community since its 19th-century beginnings as a village and still forms its commercial spine north of Toronto. Richmond Hill had 202,022 residents at the 2021 census, making it the 27th most populous municipality in Canada and one of the largest suburbs in York Region.
It's also one of the more linguistically diverse municipalities in the region. Census data puts English as the mother tongue of only about a third of residents, with Mandarin, Persian, and Cantonese among the most commonly spoken languages at home. That mix of longtime and newer communities sits alongside a firm whose practice spans real estate, family law, and immigration and refugee work.
