Meticulous preparation, reasoned analysis, and good sense characterize Nazanin's approach to client matters. Diverse personal and work experiences help her relate well to people from all walks of life and allow her to bring both compassion and tenacity to her work.

Nazanin has been practicing insurance defence litigation since 2016. Her practice at Harris & Brun focuses on the defence of motor vehicle personal injury claims on behalf of ICBC. She handles cases involving moderate to severe physical, psychological and neurological injuries. She is committed to providing strong and effective advocacy on behalf of her clients while practicing and promoting reasonableness in the conduct of litigation.

Nazanin was called to the bar in 2013 and started her career in a general practice firm in Prince Rupert, BC, where she was involved in both litigation and solicitor’s work. Working in a small community afforded her the invaluable opportunity to gain experience in a wide range of practices including family law, legal aid criminal matters, foreclosures, wills and estates and administrative law and to attend court regularly.

In 2016, she moved to the practice of insurance defence litigation, working on personal injury and property damage claims for various insurers. She joined Harris and Brun as an associate in 2017 and worked with the firm until 2020. Seeking to diversify her experience, she joined a commercial litigation practice in 2020 where she was involved in family law, commercial litigation, and administrative law. Nazanin was pleased to re-join Harris & Brun as associate counsel in late 2020. Currently, in addition to insurance defence, she continues to practice family law and commercial litigation.
