My partner and I had a meeting with Charles today. He was very welcoming and so full of knowledge! Not only that but most importantly, honest. He helped us understand our situation and did so without us retaining him and charging us a ton of money! Such a different experience than any other lawyer I had dealt with in the city. He did not make us feel as if we were just a dollar sign and actually seemed to care. That is not common in lawyers. You’re awesome Charles and we would most definitely recommend you to anyone!

I came to Osuji & Smith to review a commercial lease for my new business location. Charles and Alessia thoroughly reviewed my lease with me so that I understood it, and provided me specific notes about the present lease to take back to the landlord. Charles exceeded my expectations by also giving me additional tips on legal contracts on top of sharing some business advice that will be invaluable to the future of my business and my success as a new business owner. I feel the value I received from this office is why I will surely choose them again in the future.

After being dismissed without cause in early 2015 – I consulted with and retained a law firm to establish a right for wrongful dismissal, it was not Osuji and Smith! For nearly 4 years there had been almost no progress, and a conflict of interest arose (between my law firm and the Defendant’s firm) which forced me to search for new representation.I was so fortunate to find Charles Osuji (Osuji & Smith) – I consulted with him the day before he was leaving for vacation in late December 2018. I provided him with all the info I had accumulated over the last 4 years – he reviewed it while on vacation and we agreed to work together in early 2019. My case was tough…. The defendant did everything possible to hide companies, make ridiculous offers, falsify records, deny any responsibility and delay proceedings at every step of the way – it was extremely frustrating and caused so much anxiety that I was ready to give up many times. I’m quite certain that this tactic is not uncommon in situations like this, and many “wrongful dismissed employees” do give up.I must recognize everything, and everyone involved in this for the support to keep me going! First, - I was 100% honest in all evidence that I relied on (I knew it was true even though the defendants tried to destroy it with lies and deception). Second, the support of my wife – she never lost hope or determination, Third, and most importantly was the steadfast hard work and resolve of Charles Osuji, Justin Kwon and his team! They were unstoppable – the research and investigations required to disprove all the barriers the defendants put up was incredible. Finally in November of 2021, after Charles and his team worked through all the lies, deception and legal processes, we had a court date. We were successful and were able to set an example for case law – the three points above are as critical as the legs of a three-legged stool – if you remove one you fail! After having experienced a poor legal team in the beginning I can absolutely recommend a winning team Osuji & Smith. The continuous string of awards earned and can be seen on their website by Osuji & Smith are a true testament to the type of company you need in your corner!Thank you, Charles and team!Check out the case law Wisser v CEMJim Wisser

Christie is absolutely phenomenal. Her professionalism coupled with her kindness truly set her apart. Throughout my employment case, she provided invaluable guidance, ensuring I was well-informed every step of the way. Not only did she offer initial advice, but she also diligently followed up to inquire about the progress and provide additional counsel. Without hesitation, I highly recommend Christie to anyone in need of legal assistance. If the need ever arises for another lawyer, Christie will undoubtedly be my first choice.

As an internationally trained lawyer, I have found the Foot-in-the-Door Initiative (FIDI) program invaluable in my journey to integrate into the Canadian legal system.The program has offered me the chance to grow my professional network and gain essential legal skills, including drafting legal documents, publishing my articles, and client consultations in the Canadian context, which have been instrumental in honing my skills for a successful career in Canada.This hand-on approach provided by FIDI has been a cornerstone in preparing me for my future as a lawyer in this country.

I was so lost as an Internationally Trained Lawyer looking for that one door which gave me an opportunity to learn about the legal field in Canada. Osuji & Smith Lawyers gave me this opportunity. I am glad to be a part of Osuji & Smith as a volunteer student where I got exposure to the legal field. I am grateful to have met such great mentors who motivated, supported and guided me throughout this journey.

I appreciate immensely the privilege of being given the opportunity to be part of the Foot in the Door Initiative (FIDI). I would love to give my best as long as I participate in this program.The first time I came to know of FIDI, was from the horse’s mouth – Mr. Charles Osuji himself. The occasion was when Charles appeared as one of the honorable guest speakers at the Foreign Trained Lawyers’ Program, Faculty of Law in the University of Calgary in 2022. I was a student of the program at the time. Charles made us understand that the door is open to any would-be volunteers who would love to participate in the initiative. He made it clear that apart from building an inclusive community of lawyers, the program is designed to introduce participants to the Canadian legal practice.What is my impression of the program so far? The very idea of being part of the Osuji and Smith Lawyers—one of the top 25 lawyers in Canada—imbues me with excitement. The practical knowledge and experience I have gained with working with co-volunteers and other lawyers of the firm this past week is considerable.I am determined to wholeheartedly complete all given tasks and be willing to learn from others. I am also resolved to think more of the nitty-gritty of the law as opposed to the acquisition of mere head knowledge. I am convinced that the experience I will gain in this program will properly get me ready in my journey as a lawyer in this province.

I am honored to have been a successful participant in the Foot in The Door Initiative (FIDI).Joining the FIDI program was not only a career milestone for me but also an affirmation of the value that diverse perspectives bring to the legal profession.The program director, Ms. Shikha Shukla, helped me create a personalized schedule which was geared towards my long term career goals. With her support and leadership, I was quickly working with O&S lawyers, observing court appearances, and exercising my legal writing skills.Additionally, the positive and inclusive atmosphere at O&S has made me feel right at home. The lawyers are diverse and enthusiastic mentors who are always willing to help. Specifically, Ms. Amanda Ovaici recognized my passion for family law and has been the most exceptional adviser-taking her time to review my drafted documents and acting as my guide while navigating the family law system.The innovative FIDI program acted as a launchpad for my professional goals, has introduced me to a brilliant network of people and has reignited my dedication to the legal field. I could not thank Charles and his team enough for providing me this opportunity.

I am immensely grateful for the transformative experience provided by the Foot in the Door Initiative (FIDI), specifically the impactful mentorship of Charles Osuji, the founder of FIDI.With 20 years of international expertise in law, a master’s degree, and certifications in arbitration, governance, and risk compliance, my credentials seemed overlooked by Canadian employers. However, FIDI changed the narrative by opening doors and providing the launch pad I required for my Canadian legal career.Beyond individual career advancements, my involvement with FIDI, including its diversity and inclusivity endeavors within the legal community, has deepened my understanding of the unique challenges faced by internationally trained lawyers. This experience has made me a dedicated and proactive member of the FIDI leadership team. FIDI fuses its mandate for the career advancement of internationally trained professionals with further investment in the goal of fostering a more inclusive and diverse legal community in Canada, and I am humbled to be part of this selfless initiative.To my fellow internationally trained lawyers, your expertise is not just recognized but celebrated by FIDI, serving as the bridge to attaining the elusive ‘Canadian Experience.’ To applicants and future FIDI’ans, embrace this opportunity with fervor; your success story awaits, and I am thrilled to be part of your incredible journey!Christie EzeSenior Associate, Osuji & Smith Lawyers

It’s time that I share my life changing experience with Charles Osuji and OsujiSmith Lawyers.Foot in the Door Initiative (FIDI): FIDI is not just a foot in the door initiative. It’s a light at the end of the tunnel. I was in Toronto, Ontario, before I moved to Calgary, Alberta, in February 2023. I started applying for volunteer positions and articling positions at every possible law firm in Calgary, Medicine Heart, Red Deer, and other cities in Alberta.I believe I applied to almost 30 places before someone told me about the FIDI program. At first, I wasn’t that hopeful; however, when I spoke with Mr. Charles Osuji, I saw a ray of hope among all the rejections and ignored attempts to secure either a volunteer position or an articling position.Mr. Charles Osuji gave me 15 minutes, conducted a brief interview, and asked me to get in touch with Ms. Shikha Shukla, who is the coordinator of this program. I was then invited by Ms. Shikha Shukla, and another interview was conducted, and I was selected for the volunteer position.After so many rejections and ignored emails, I was almost ready to give up and was extremely demotivated, but this program came as a lifesaver, or, I can say, as my legal career saver in my life. I can say one thing for sure: I am never going to forget what this program and Mr. Charles Osuji did for me when nobody was even replying to my emails for a volunteer position.

I was let go by a former employer due to work shortage and while the severance seemed reasonable at first glance, it was less than what I deserved.I reached out to Barr Charles Osuji and he was very professional and forthwith with me. Letting me know my options and the possibilities of litigation, and suggestions as to the best approach.I love the fact that he wasn't just all about the money, he was truly interested in getting me a fair deal. This was a surprise to me and I got a better severance package than initially offered. Hands down one of the best consultation fees I've ever paid.So when you get a severance package, please contact a lawyer before accepting it. You might be leaving good money on the table.Overall, it was a satisfactory experience.

Osuji & Smith are the best in the business. I worked with Ibrahim while purchasing my property and he was so helpful. He was always there to provide support and guidance every step of the way and I was never worried about not having sufficient knowledge because Ibrahim will always make sure I had a great understanding of every document signed, and every note sent. The firm apparently holds a culture of meticulousness very dearly and I’m grateful for that!

I recently faced a precarious situation when my employer unexpectedly changed my shift and position, only to recommend a voluntary resignation later. Feeling overwhelmed and uncertain about my rights, I sought the legal expertise of Barrister Charles Osuji. From the outset, he was a guiding light in the fog of employment uncertainties.Charles exhibited unparalleled professionalism and a profound understanding of employment law. From our initial consultation, he took the time to meticulously analyze the details of my case, ensuring a comprehensive understanding of the nuances surrounding my situation. He immediately instilled confidence by articulating a clear strategy to address my concerns and protect my rights.Throughout the process, Charles demonstrated exceptional open communication skills, which provided clarity and reassured me that I was in capable hands. He advocated for my rights and suggested how I could negotiate with my employer to secure a resolution. He responded when I sought his attention after office hours. Simply put, he was there whenever I needed him.I thank him immensely for his support, guidance, unwavering commitment to justice and dedication to securing a favourable outcome in my situation. Charles is an invaluable asset for anyone facing employment-related legal challenges. I highly recommend him to anybody needing legal guidance or representation in employment law.

Huge thanks to Charles, Christie and team at Osuji & Smith. They are both extremely knowledgeable and very professional individuals. I contacted their firm when got treated unfairly by one of my previous employers which made me go through one of the toughest times in my life and I suffered through a lot of mental stress but not only they helped me to get justice in this situation but also helped me cope with my depression with their kindness, empathy and encouragement. When contacted their firm regarding the situation, I was really unsure how to get justice in this extremely unfair situation my employer made me go through , after years of loyalty and hard work towards the company, but Christie, Charles and Shikha provided me great advices and guidance to help me get best possible outcomes in this matter. Highly recommend Osuji & Smith lawyers for your legal matters and also encourage those who get treated unfairly to fight back always because the one have done nothing wrong should never get punished and no one should get away from how they treated others…Thanks again Charles , Christie and team, very much appreciated your support 👏

I came to OsugiSmith seeking legal advice to a unique issue. Charles, assigned Harsimrat Nahal, Legal Strategist, to my file. I think that was devine intervention. Harsimrat is not only calming, but also a brilliant, passionate professional who provided me with a solid resolution. I am humbled, thank you.LC

I used Osuji&Smith law for sales of my property. Ibrahim oversaw the legal part of selling my house. Everything went seamlessly from the start to the end. He explained everything to me and that helped answer all of my questions before I had an opportunity to ask them (and I mean that). He is very quick to reply messages and readily available to take your calls. Takes his work very seriously. I will recommend using Osuji and Smith law. The fees were also reasonable.

A couple of years ago, not being happy with how our lawyer in a labor case was treating us, we contacted Charles for a consultation. He was very professional & heard what we had to say. While he advised us the case was too far along to change lawyers, he helped us to understand what was going on. He also gave us enough of a ballpark range on the possible settlement that we ended up settling for a significant amount more than our actual lawyer wanted us to settle for. Wish that we had connected with Charles far sooner. My wife said the hour consultation fee was the best money we ever spent.

I very much appreciated Charles Osuji's wisdom on my employment issue, and that he clearly explained the legal issues and was honest with me that I really didn't have a case given the time that passed or the scale of provable loss. It was refreshing compared to attorneys I have dealt with years ago that would have pursued a case in vain solely to be able to bill. his integrity impressed me.

Osuji and Smith, very clinical with business, haven't been to a law firm as dedicated, serious and knows the job like this giys, went there with a friend to swear an affidavit, met with the CEO Mr Charles Osuji, he amidst busy and tight schedules passionately and humbly attended to us, he made it so easy cos he was also throwing some jokes while attending to our needs,We left with a big smiles on our faces as it only took him 20 minutes to do a job I needed to book and wait for days in other law firms I contacted before I got Osuji and Smith.I will without any reservations recommend anyone to try this guys first when you need a lawyer.

My experience at Osuji & Smith was amazing and satisfying. The staff were friendly and the environment was welcoming. My friend and I went in there for a notary service and the owner Mr. Osuji was attentive to what we needed. Inspite of his busy schedule, Mr. Osuji was able to put his other tasks aside and his focus at that moment was on us. He shared that is motto is that every client/customer/person that walks through their door deserves an attention and must be attended to with respect and dignity. My friend and I definitely witnessed and felt his motto in action and he did it effortlessly. The service we went in for was provided in a timely manner. If you need services in notary, family issues, etc and want to be seen and heard, Osuji & Smith is a place to go for the assistance.

I am dealing mostly with Lyon. His knowledge, professionalism, high integrity and response time is top notch. He is very detailed, likes to do it right the first time, leaves no stone unturned, and is very intuitive at reading the opposing side.Both Charles and Lyon have their clients best interest at heart. They care about you and the case, but most of all it is a partnership. Finding common ground and what works best for their client's situation, personality and psychologicalWell being at times.As a result, this is a highly successful firm that is well-respected.I highly recommend Osuji & Smith.

I highly recommend Osuji & Smith for everyone. They helped me to win the custody battle of my 2 kids to get them out of a very violent environment that was never good for them. Its just like one big family. My Lawyer Lucy- Mewanu Mensah was so concerned about my kids . She always told me that no child deserves to grow in abusive environment. She guided me from the first day Charles Osuji appointed her to represent me in the custody of my kids.She is so humble, intelligent, smart, and diligent. She actually knows what she is doing. She did not offer me false hopes just to get my money but told me what i will mostly like get at the end of the case. At the end of the case, we won and the kids have been removed from this very bad environment to be with me in a safe place.You can't get it better anywhere else.There is a reason why they are always ranked as one of the best in the country.
