Ali Manavi completed a Specialized Honours Bachelor’s degree in Political Science at York University in 2005, focusing on Global Political Studies and International Relations.

Consistently recognized on the Dean’s Honour Roll at York University and as a founding member of a Middle East Peace organization, Mr. Manavi was strongly encouraged to pursue a Master’s degree and Ph.D. in Political Science, with a focus on post-structuralist political theory. He was offered various scholarships, including a full scholarship to complete his Master’s Degree in Political Science at one of the most prestigious universities in Ontario, where he was among only 15 candidates accepted into the field of International Relations. Despite his academic success in Political Science, Mr. Manavi chose to follow his passion for becoming a lawyer and practicing law in his community.

Mr. Manavi completed law school at the University of Windsor, Faculty of Law, where he earned his LL.B. in 2008, and was called to the Ontario Bar by the Law Society of Upper Canada in 2009.

Establishing his law practice on Yonge Street in the heart of Richmond Hill, Ontario, Mr. Manavi has been serving his community for more than 10 years as a lawyer practicing Family Law, Criminal Law, and Immigration Law. He continues to regularly attend and conduct trials at the Superior Court of Justice and Ontario Court of Justice since 2009.
