Zahreen Ghaznavi is a litigator in New York. She handles IP and commercial litigation for the firm’s clients. Education Columbia Law School, Yale University Former Gigs Success Academy Charter Schools, Kirkland & Ellis Area(s) of law you enjoy most Lucky for me, I enjoy IP litigation because the clients are cool and the problems are interesting but self-contained; otherwise, it would have to be M&A/deal litigation because the cases move fast and the judges in Delaware Chancery Court are super knowledgeable. Area you don’t work in but are curious about I would have to say family and juvenile law and maybe immigration law – I follow the news on both those topics pretty closely already. Cats or Dogs? I like both (I like most animals to be honest), but are deathly allergic to cats, so dogs! (Side note: my dog’s instagram handle is @ olivianoodlejohn, and she really is the most adorable dog in the world.) First Post-Pandemic Destination? Italy – despite being married for almost 3 years, my partner and I haven’t gone on our honeymoon there! Person You Admire Not counting family, I would have to say I really admire Geoffrey Canada, the founder of Harlem Children’s Zone – learning about his theory on how to break the cycle of poverty had a profound impact on me and my thinking.
