employment lawyer Calgary & managing partner Dr. Charles Osuji (Hon. D.) SAYS:
“It is such an honour to be voted and chosen as one of the Top 25 Most Influential Lawyers in Canada (Young Influencer) by Canadian Lawyer Magazine. It is an even greater honor to be placed in such distinguished ranks as those of the past honorees such as Supreme Court of Canada Justices, prominent Judges and inspiring lawyers across Canada.
Being the first Nigerian-born, internationally-trained lawyer to receive this Award after a few years of relocating to Canada with no professional network, I hope this further encourages the continued acceptance and recognition of international talents notwithstanding the sound of their voice, the color of their skin or their heritage. These folks are ever ready to prove their worth if they get their foot in the door or given a chance. Believe me (the amazing staff and lawyers at Osuji & Smith come from different parts of the world and speak over 12 major languages). I’ve chosen to give them a chance.
I’m grateful for the support and vote of confidence across Canada and elsewhere from family, friends, colleagues, Calgary Region Immigrant Employment Council, mentors and my staff at Osuji & Smith Lawyers – Calgary Employment & Business Lawyers.”
