Courtroom discipline
Comfort with contested records and written advocacy.
Before moving to Canada, Mazia worked on civil, commercial, banking, recovery, regulatory, constitutional, and tribunal-facing matters in Karachi, Pakistan.
Internationally trained lawyer
Legal judgment shaped by courts, companies, and cross-border transition.
Mazia Hasan brings litigation discipline, in-house commercial judgment, and regulated-industry experience to her Canadian legal path. Her work spans commercial disputes, governance, tax controversy, contracts, environmental compliance, and institutional risk.
The through line
A legal profile built around judgment, not just chronology.
Mazia’s background combines courtroom advocacy, enterprise legal advisory work, and a deliberate transition into Canadian legal practice. The through line is judgment under pressure: contested records, regulators, commercial risk, board materials, and professional standards.
Commercial judgment
Advice that accounts for legal and business consequences.
At Engro Corporation, she advised business teams and senior stakeholders on contracts, disputes, regulatory issues, employment, environmental compliance, IP, governance, and risk.
Canadian formation
Deliberate transition into Canadian legal practice.
In Toronto, Mazia has continued through Osgoode Hall Law School, the NCA process, and work at Stikeman Elliott LLP, building familiarity with Canadian legal standards and professional expectations.
Selected work
Representative matters and legal terrain, presented as proof of range.
Selected examples show the environments in which Mazia has worked: litigation files, regulated businesses, board-facing governance, commercial contracts, and public-facing disputes.
High-stakes legal work
From litigation files to board-facing governance and regulated industrial operations.
Her experience is strongest where the legal issue is connected to operations, reputation, public authorities, employees, financial exposure, and institutional decision-making.
Tax controversy
Strategy support in enterprise-level tax controversy.
Coordinated across legal, business, tax, senior leadership, and external counsel, with attention to financial, regulatory, operational, and reputational risk.
Governance
Company Secretary, Engro Elengy Terminal Pvt. Ltd. and Elengy Terminal Pakistan Ltd.
Supported board materials, statutory compliance, corporate records, resolutions, minutes, governance process, and decision-making discipline.
Disputes
Managed more than 250 cases and legal matters across litigation practice and in-house portfolios.
Managed matter flow, external counsel coordination, internal stakeholder updates, file strategy, and risk tracking across significant disputes and advisory portfolios.
Commercial contracts
Commercial agreements across regulated business units.
Reviewed and negotiated EPC contracts, service agreements, employment contracts, confidentiality arrangements, and commercial documentation.
Public and regulatory
Environmental, IP, employment, regulatory, and constitutional issues.
Worked across public-facing and regulated matters, including environmental compliance for power generation operations and litigation involving public law issues.
Canadian pathway
Mazia is building her Canadian legal career deliberately. She completed her LL.M. in Canadian Common Law at Osgoode Hall Law School and is completing a Professional LL.M. in International Business Law.
She currently works at Stikeman Elliott LLP while completing the NCA qualification process. Her Certificate of Qualification is expected in August 2026, followed by the Law Society of Ontario Lawyer Licensing Process for the 2027-2028 articling cycle.
Her professional interests sit at the intersection of corporate and commercial law, litigation, regulatory law, tax controversy, energy and infrastructure, administrative law, governance, human rights, and access to justice.
Her Canadian transition is deliberate: prior legal practice, Canadian graduate legal training, firm exposure, and the licensing pathway moving in the same direction.
