I started my legal career in 1995 in Moscow, Russia, and I practiced corporate law there for more than 14 years. I was sure that my father had chosen the profession for me as he needed a lawyer for his business and insisted that I get a legal education. I graduated from one of the best universities in Russia, Moscow State University. Being communicative, detailed, and goal-oriented as well as hard-working, I succeeded in my line of work but never thought that the legal profession was my choice until I moved to Canada.
