Yasmine Atif

Since her call to the Bar of Ontario, Yasmine has built a broad and dynamic litigation practice. She began her legal career advocating for plaintiffs in personal injury matters, where she developed a strong foundation in trial advocacy and client-focused representation. Building on that experience, her practice has since evolved to focus on civil litigation, with a particular emphasis on estate litigation, capacity law, and employment law, where she continues to bring a compassionate and strategic approach to resolving disputes. Yasmine has appeared before the Ontario Superior Court of Justice, the Small Claims Court, the Landlord and Tenant Board, the Human Rights Tribunal and the Criminal Injuries Compensation Board.

Yasmine completed her undergraduate degree in Political Science and her Common Law degree at the University of Ottawa. While in law school, Yasmine was involved with the University of Ottawa’s Human Rights Legal Clinic and assisted with a number of publications for the United Nations. During her studies, she completed an internship at a law firm in southern Texas, where she provided legal services to underprivileged communities.

Before joining Sicotte Guilbault in 2022, Yasmine completed her articles at a well-known Ottawa all-service firm. After being called to the bar, she worked as an Associate at a personal injury law firm, advocating on behalf of injured individuals and their families. This experience strengthened her litigation skills and deepened her interest in advocacy-driven practice, ultimately leading her to expand her focus into broader areas of civil litigation.

Yasmine is fluently bilingual and is happy to offer her services in both official languages.

In her free time, Yasmine plays soccer, hockey, and golf, and is a classically trained pianist. She is an avid sports fan, with a special love for college football and basketball, always cheering on her Texas A&M Aggies. She also loves to travel and takes every opportunity to explore new cultures and cuisines around the world.
