About Anisa Dattu

My journey has led me to be called to the Ontario Bar in 2017 and to the Alberta Bar in 2022. Having been born and raised in Toronto, Ontario, I had the privilege of commencing my legal career at a boutique law firm located in Pickering, Ontario. It was there that I swiftly assumed the role of a mentor to fellow lawyers and legal staff. Practicing law in two distinct provinces has helped me refine my experience, enabling me to guide clients through intricate legal matters with unwavering professionalism, precision, and a personal touch.

My particular area of interest lies in civil litigation, encompassing, but not limited to, medical malpractice law and personal injury cases. Beyond practicing law, you can find me exploring the landscapes of Alberta, engaging in volunteer work, checking out the latest local cafes and restaurants, and spending time with my family and friends.

INDIGENOUS LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

The lands on which Edmonton sits and the North Saskatchewan River that runs through it have been the sites of natural abundance, ceremony and culture, travel and rest, relationship building, making, and trading for Indigenous peoples since time immemorial. Edmonton is located within Treaty 6 Territory and within the Metis homelands and Metis Nation of Alberta Region 4. We acknowledge this land as the traditional territories of many First Nations such as the Nehiyaw (Cree), Denesuline (Dene), Nakota Sioux (Stoney), Anishinaabe (Saulteaux) and Niitsitapi (Blackfoot).

Weir Bowen acknowledges the many First Nations, Métis and Inuit who have lived in and cared for these lands for generations. We are grateful for the traditional Knowledge Keepers and Elders who are still with us today and those who have gone before us. We make this acknowledgement as an act of reconciliation and gratitude to those whose territory we reside on or are visiting.
