Cassels Brock is pleased to announce that Imran Ahmad has joined the firm as an associate in our Competition, Antitrust & Foreign Investment Group.

Imran’s practice encompasses a wide range of competition and foreign investment matters. He regularly advises both Canadian and foreign clients engaged in mergers, joint ventures, and other forms of strategic alliances in connection with the notification and clearance provisions of the Competition Act and Investment Canada Act.

Imran sits on the board of directors of Common Ground Co-Operative, a not-for-profit organization providing business training to individuals with developmental disabilities. Additionally, he acts as legal counsel on a pro bono basis for the Child Soldier Initiative, a program housed at Dalhousie University that seeks to eliminate the use of child soldiers throughout the world. Imran has also been involved in the Ontario Bar Association’s Law Day Elementary School Mock Trial Program for several years.
