During her articling term, Amina had the opportunity to collaborate on multiple technology law cases and played a key role, for instance, in the due diligence process for complex deals involving global technology companies. What’s more, Amina actively participated in drafting contracts involving technology.

Using the experience she gained at the firm, Amina contributed to creating Lavery’s white paper on what actions to take before, during and after a cyber incident. She also helped clients strengthen their cyber resilience by developing or delivering cybersecurity training content.
