Comprehensive legal guidance for Iranian individuals and businesses navigating the complexities of doing business in Vancouver, BC.
At Pax Law Corporation, we are proud to introduce our new Iranian Law Practice Department, created to meet the growing needs of individuals and families who require legal services relating to Iranian law while living in Canada. Our department is led by Setareh Hajmohammadjafar, a legal professional who holds a Practitioner of Foreign Law Permit from the Law Society of British Columbia. With her qualifications, she is authorized to advise and assist clients on Iranian legal matters from right here in Canada.
For members of the Iranian community in North Vancouver, Vancouver, and across British Columbia, this new department offers peace of mind and accessibility — you no longer need to navigate the difficulties of finding lawyers in Iran or traveling overseas. Instead, you can obtain reliable Iranian legal services directly from our office in Central Lonsdale, North Vancouver, where Pax Law Corporation has been serving clients with integrity and excellence for years.
Our Iranian Law Practice Department provides clients with a wide range of services, combining deep knowledge of Iranian civil law and Islamic legal principles with a clear understanding of the Canadian legal system. This makes us uniquely positioned to advise clients who require support with cross-border legal issues, disputes, or documentation involving Iran and Canada.
We assist clients with Iranian family law matters, including:
Recognition of Iranian marriages, advice on Iranian divorce procedures, and related documentation.
Legal guidance regarding child custody, guardianship, and parental rights under Iranian law.
Understanding inheritance rights and estate distribution according to Iranian civil and Islamic law.
For individuals and businesses with assets or relationships in Iran, our services include:
Drafting, interpretation, and enforcement of contracts governed by Iranian law.
Guidance on real estate ownership, transfer of property, and disputes under Iranian regulations
Advising on Iranian commercial law matters, investments, and cross-border trade concerns.
Whether you operate a joint venture, partnership, charitable organization, start-up, or corporation, our lawyers provide practical and customized legal solutions.
We work closely with entrepreneurs, developers, and corporate executives to help them structure transactions, negotiate agreements, and resolve business challenges efficiently.
At Pax Law, we’re committed to your success — and we’re here to support you every step of the way.
We help clients prepare and interpret Iranian wills, provide advice on estate planning within the Iranian legal framework, and assist with probate or estate administration that involves Iranian law.
Many of our clients require Iranian legal documents to be authenticated, translated, or legalized for use in Canada — for example, in immigration applications, family law cases, or business transactions. Our department provides advisory and liaison services to help you ensure your documents meet Canadian requirements while maintaining compliance with Iranian law.
We recognize that each client’s situation is unique. Whether you need assistance with personal, business, or family matters tied to Iranian law, Pax Law Corporation offers personalized strategies that address your goals while respecting both Iranian legal traditions and Canadian legal standards.
Our office in Central Lonsdale, North Vancouver, provides easy access to Iranian law services in Canada, reducing the need for international travel or complex overseas communications.

EXCELLENT Based on 879 reviews Posted on Google AmberTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had an excellent experience with Pax Law and Samin Mortazavi as our lawyer when buying a condo. He was thorough, answered all of my questions, and double checked with his team during the meeting to make sure that all information was correct. Thanks for the great service!Posted on Google Daniyal VassighTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I am very happy and grateful to Pax Law Firm and their team. I had another lawyer before, but unfortunately, my immigration case did not go well. Then I worked with this team. They took my case to court and successfully overturned the refusal. They were very helpful, professional, and supportive throughout the entire process. Thank you so much for all your hard work and assistance. I truly appreciate everything you have done for me. 🙏Posted on Google bahar rabiyanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

I recently had several questions regarding my mandatory military service in my home country, so I booked a consultation with **Pax Law Corporation**. The process was very smooth—I scheduled a 30-minute virtual consultation, paid the consultation fee, uploaded my identification documents, and met with Dr. Samin Mortazavi the following day. During the meeting, I explained my situation in detail. Dr. Mortazavi listened very carefully, answered all of my questions clearly and honestly, and explained both the legal aspects of my situation and the steps I should and should not take. I never felt rushed, and the entire consultation was professional, respectful, and informative. Even though I live in Alberta, the firm accommodated my schedule and arranged the meeting at a convenient time, which I greatly appreciated. Overall, it was a very productive conversation, and I am extremely happy with Dr. Mortazavi's professionalism, knowledge, and attitude. If I ever need immigration legal services in the future, he and his firm will be my first choice. I would also highly recommend Pax Law Corporation to anyone looking for reliable and professional immigration legal advice.Posted on Google Niloo HTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My experience with Pax Law did not start off well. My file was initially assigned to Ms. Parisa Pourhashemi, and unfortunately, I was very disappointed with the way my case was handled. After signing the agreement, I did not hear from her for approximately two weeks. I eventually had to follow up myself and ask why no one had contacted me. There were also several occasions when I had to repeatedly explain or defend documents that were actually correct. One particularly frustrating example involved our property deed. Ms. Pourhashemi firmly told me that the deed I had provided was incorrect and that the property was not in our name. She stated this with such certainty that I was genuinely shocked. What made this situation even more troubling was something Ms. Pourhashemi later wrote to me in an email. She told me, with complete confidence, that because I had supposedly provided her with an incorrect property deed, I was essentially in no position to criticize the quality of their work. I found this comment both disrespectful and extremely concerning. The very same property deed was subsequently sent to Mr. Haghjou, who reviewed it and confirmed that there was nothing wrong with it. So my question to Ms. Pourhashemi is this: how can you speak to a client with such certainty—and in such a dismissive manner—when the very premise of your statement turns out to be incorrect? If there was uncertainty about the document, I would have expected you to consult someone with greater knowledge or experience before making such a definitive statement and using it as a reason to dismiss a client’s legitimate concerns. This incident reflects one of the biggest problems I had with my experience. It was not simply about making a mistake. Mistakes happen. What concerned me was the combination of being extremely confident about something that ultimately turned out to be incorrect, not reconsidering that position, and then speaking to a client in a dismissive manner based on that incorrect conclusion. Unfortunately, this was not the only issue. When the forms were eventually sent to me for final review before submission, I found numerous errors. What disappointed me most was what happened after I expressed my concerns. I communicated my disappointment politely and respectfully and explained that I did not feel my file had received the level of attention, care, and focus that I expected. In response, I received an email whose tone I found surprisingly harsh and unprofessional. I was genuinely shocked by it. In my opinion, anyone working directly with clients should be able to receive respectful feedback and respond professionally. Based on my personal experience, I do not believe the communication I received met that standard. For these reasons, based solely on my personal experience, I would not recommend having a visa application handled by Ms. Pourhashemi. That being said, I also believe in giving credit where it is deserved, and this is where my experience with Pax Law changed significantly for the better. Once my concerns were brought to Mr. Haghjou’s attention, the situation was handled very differently. He contacted me very quickly, obtained the necessary documents from me, carefully reviewed the issues I had raised, and moved the case forward promptly. I am genuinely grateful to Mr. Haghjou for the way he stepped in and managed the situation. His responsiveness, professionalism, attention to detail, and ability to resolve the issues gave me a much better impression of Pax Law as a firm. For that reason, despite the very negative experience I had at the beginning, I felt it would be unfair not to give Pax Law five stars overall. The way the firm responded after my concerns were escalated showed me that they were willing to take a client’s concerns seriously and correct the situation. I do, however, sincerely hope that Pax Law pays closer attention to who is assigned responsibility for clients’ files and to the quality of their work and communication.Posted on Google Farzad TabatabaeiTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. بهترین وکیل و تیم حرفه ای که کارهای نشد و مثل آب خوردن و بدون استرس انجام میدهند واقعا ممنون از شما بابت نتیجه گیری عالی برای پرونده من🙏🙏🙏امیدوارم همیشه برفراز قله های موفقیت که هستید ، بمانید 🌹🌹🌹ه “The best lawyer and legal team.
