Mihad has devoted her legal career to human rights and workplace law. As these areas continue to evolve and diversify, so does her legal practice.

Drawing on her strong listening, analytical and writing skills, Mihad conducts independent workplace investigations into allegations of harassment and bullying, discrimination, sexual harassment and other alleged misconduct. She is an approved investigator on the Federal Workplace Harassment and Violence Prevention Regulations Roster of Investigators and a member of the Investigations Unit with the Office of the Sport Integrity Commissioner (OSIC). Mihad works with organizations in providing timely and cost-effective investigation services tailored to the unique nature of the issue at hand. Her thorough and accessible reports may include recommendations and/or legal advice if necessary, or may be limited to findings of fact.

Mihad also offers practical consulting and writing services to organizations regarding workplace policy design and development. She assists clients to breakdown what is often the daunting task of reviewing and updating policies and procedures – from those that address the nuts and bolts of employment (hours of work, vacation, leaves etc) to those dealing with anti-discrimination, accommodation, and workplace harassment.

Prior to moving into third-party neutral work, Mihad was union side counsel for over 15 years, appearing before grievance arbitration boards in a variety of sectors. Mihad also served as Human Rights Advisor to the National Council of Canadian Muslims (NCCM) advising the advocacy organization on human rights and anti-discrimination issues.

Building on her passion for human rights and education, Mihad is also a part-time adjunct professor at Huron, Western University, teaching to both undergraduate and graduate students.

Mihad has always been actively engaged in her community. Currently, she serves as Governor on the Board of Governors for Fanshawe College. Past community work has included serving as Co-Chair of the Muslim Resource Centre for Social Support and Integration (MRCSSI), Member of the City of London’s Diversity and Race Relations Advisory Committee and Board Member of the London & Middlesex Children’s Aid Society.

A graduate of Queen’s University Faculty of Law, Mihad was called to the Ontario Bar in 1997 and went on to obtain her LL.M. in 1999 with a focus on minority rights and constitutional law.
