Shamim's considerable education and experience in Alternative Dispute Resolution leads her to propose to both parties in a separation or divorce to collaborate toward solutions, without the need to go to court. This avoids the traditional adversarial approach, and can save the parties significant stress, time and money.
She has been, and remains, active in numerous community services, including:
- Kitsilano Neighbourhood House, Vancouver BC
- Parent Support Services of BC, Vancouver BC
- East Toronto Community Legal Services Inc., Toronto ON
- Anne Johnston Health Station, Toronto ON
- Ismaili Conciliation and Arbitration Boards for Canada and for Ontario

In addition to her successful family law practice in North Vancouver, Shamim enjoys spending time with family and friends, travel, reading and gardening.
