Meet Sadaf

Meet Sadaf Hassanzadeh, the vibrant and ever-curious lawyer at Lexaltico LLP, where she brings her passion and expertise to Family and Divorce Law, as well as Estate Planning and Probate. Sadaf’s approach to law is as dynamic as she is, blending compassion with sharp legal acumen to guide her clients through life’s twists and turns.

In Sadaf’s eyes, the legal world is a living, breathing entity, constantly shifting with every new technological or societal change. Currently, she’s deeply focused on artificial intelligence—a rapidly growing field that she believes will soon bring significant challenges, especially in Family and Divorce Law. As AI begins to influence sensitive areas like custody decisions and estate planning, Sadaf is committed to ensuring that technology supports, rather than complicates, the lives of families. With a heart full of compassion and a mind eager to explore new possibilities, she’s ready to embrace these changes, always putting the well-being of her clients and their families first.

Here’s a fun fact about Sadaf: back in high school, she taught herself German because her school didn’t offer it. By the end of one summer, she was nearly fluent, even breezing through advanced German courses in university. It’s a testament to her determination and love for learning—traits that serve her well in her legal career.

When she’s not in the office, you’ll likely find Sadaf in the kitchen, whipping up Afghan dishes and pastries. For her, cooking is more than just a hobby—it’s a way to keep her culture alive and share it with others. Plus, the delicious results are a sweet reward!

Sadaf’s all-time favorite book? Khaled Hosseini’s A Thousand Splendid Suns. It’s a powerful, heartbreaking read that deeply resonates with her. She’s also a fan of Dostoyevsky’s Crime and Punishment for its deep dive into ethics and morality. And when it comes to movies, she’s always recommending Howl’s Moving Castle—a charming and magical film that, according to Sadaf, everyone should watch at least once.

When Sadaf needs to unwind, her go-to spot is the sunroom in her parents’ house in Edmonton. It’s a warm, sunny haven where she can relax and recharge, with a refreshing breeze to top it all off.

Sadaf is fluent in Farsi and Dari, which helps her connect with a diverse range of clients and navigate the multicultural world of her practice with ease.
