Littler, the world’s largest employment and labor law practice representing management, announced the addition of experienced Canadian immigration attorney Yusra Siddiquee. She will join the firm as a partner in their Toronto office from Norton Rose Fulbright Canada LLP where she led the business immigration and international mobility team.

Toronto managing partner Sari Springer said, “Yusra’s experience will be of tremendous value to our Canadian and multinational clients for whom the seamless hiring of foreign workers or transfer of employees to foreign locations is critical to their business operations. She will be a terrific addition to our team in Toronto and will work closely with our colleagues across the globe, including Jorge Lopez, who chairs Littler’s Global Mobility and Immigration practice, to provide clients with strategic counsel on immigration-related matters.”

Siddiquee uses her multiple languages to work with Canadian and international companies on corporate immigration strategies such as developing immigration compliance policies and facilitating temporary and permanent entry of employees to global destinations.

Siddiquee said, “Canada’s entry programs for highly skilled foreign workers provide companies with a competitive advantage in attracting top global talent. I’m excited to work with my new colleagues in Toronto to counsel companies on their immigration matters, as well as to leverage Littler’s global platform and top-notch technology to further expand my practice and the services offered to our clients.”

She earned her LL.B. from the University of British Columbia and B.A. from McGill University. Chambers Canada recognized her as a leading lawyer in Nationwide Immigration. A number of other organizations such as Who’s Who Legal and The International Who’s Who of Corporate Immigration Lawyers have recognized her expertise.
