Who we are

Martin founded Inlet Law with a vision. We are never going to tell survivors of sexual violence and harassment in the workplace that nothing can be done.

And so far, he's making it work.

Martin has advocated in the courts of six provinces and one territory. He advocated successfully for the rights of marginalized Canadians in the Supreme Court of Canada in Matthews v Ocean Nutrition. He has lectured at law schools. He has been quoted in the news and educational materials on a wide array of employment law issues. He is a past president of the employment law subsection of the Canadian Bar Association.

If you want capable, fearless yet balanced advocacy, Martin is your guy.

If you want to pick a result and work toward it, if you want an advocate who really cares about your back story, your family, your problems... if you want results tailored to you call Martin or any member of our team.

Navpreet is a third-year call to the B.C. Bar. She is a dedicated advocate who will work with you to resolve your legal matter on your own terms and as quickly as possible. In her first year of practice, she acted as co-counsel on the winning side of E.N. v. William L. Rutherford (B.C.) Limited, a case that will set the stage for years to come in British Columbia on a variety of employment law issues. In her second year of practice, Navpreet co-presented at the annual employment law conference on the topic of vicarious liability for sexual assault and trauma-informed lawyering.

Navpreet joined Inlet Employment Law in July of 2020. Before Inlet, she studied law at Thompson Rivers University. When she wasn’t in class, Navpreet volunteered for several local and national student groups, worked as a union research and communications coordinator, and served as a student clinician, providing pro bono legal advice to multi-barrier clientele on a wide range of issues.

Navpreet is very involved in every step of her clients' files, from the first phone call, to regular updates, courtroom advocacy, settlement negotiations, and resolution. She is committed to providing exceptional service to her clients through clear communication, strong advocacy, fearlessness and tenacity.

Tanvir joined our team as an associate in 2021.

Prior to Inlet Employment Law, Tanvir practiced general civil litigation with a focus in commercial disputes, where she gained experience in a wide variety of matters, including insurance defence, commercial collections, contract and shareholder disputes, and real estate litigation. Though her experiences were broadly positive, she wanted to re-focus her practice to take on cases with a human element. She now uses her diverse background to her client's advantage in her current practice of employment and human rights litigation.

As a fifth-year call to the bar, Tanvir has already gained experience beyond her vintage. She has appeared at all levels of court in British Columbia on a variety of interlocutory, trial and appeal matters, as well as at administrative tribunals. Her most recent victory was as lead counsel for a wrongfully dismissed employee in the B.C. Court of Appeal in E.N. v. William L. Rutherford (B.C.) Limited. Not only does this case touch on several important employment law issues, but it is also a precedent decision for an important civil evidentiary procedure.

Tanvir completed her undergraduate degree at the University of British Columbia. Prior to embarking on a career in law, Tanvir travelled extensively and her keen interest in travel led her to attend law school in the United Kingdom, where she obtained her LLB. Tanvir is fluent in Punjabi.

Tanvir understands how important it is to achieve tangible results, so she is committed to finding strategies to reach resolutions that are timely, efficient and fair.

As a mother of two young girls she is thrilled to be part of a firm that is so passionate about advocating for women who are victims of sexual assualt and workplace sexual harassment.

In her spare time Kristi enjoys hiking, cooking and spending quality time with her family.

Despite being relatively new to the profession, she has already successfully represented clients at the Provincial Court of British Columbia and the Supreme Court of British Columbia. Nazanin takes a trauma-informed approach and places people at the centre of her practice. She is a an empathetic listener and a passionate advocate who will focus on achieving solutions that meet your needs.

Nazanin graduated from the Peter A. Allard School of Law in 2021. During her time at law school, she served as a student clinician at Rise Women’s Legal Centre which gave her first-hand experience in serving clients facing intersecting socio-economic barriers. Nazanin brings with her a strong interest in social justice stemming back to her work with the #LawNeedFeminismBecause campaign and research on immigration and family law at UBC. Nazanin’s academic work resulted in her being honoured with the Alexander J. Cohen Memorial Award for advancing critical inquiry and the Bruce McColl Memorial Prize for excellence in alternate dispute resolution.

As a summer article student, Kaelyn handled her files with passion and determination. Her success with the firm was marked by effective settlement negotiations, compassionate representation, and an appearance at the Supreme Court of British Columbia. Kaelyn will be returning to Inlet to Article in 2022 and is looking forward to establishing her practice as a bold and results-oriented advocate.

Kaelyn is currently completing her final year at Peter A. Allard School of Law. While at law school she conducted research for her employment law professor, looking at issues for migrant workers, particularly in view of COVID-19. She also volunteered with the Law Students’ Legal Advice Program and with the Access Pro Bono’s Will Clinic. She is looking forward to furthering her experience by participating in a Contrancts Law Clinic in her final term.

Prior to law school, Kaelyn obtained her Bachelor of Arts degree in English Honours where she wrote her dissertation on the treatment of women in renaissance literature. Kaelyn is excited to bring this feminist lens into her work as an advocate for survivors of sexual assault, a developing practice area at Inlet. She prides herself on her ability to connect with diverse clients and to represent them with integrity, achieving successful outcomes.
