As one of Canadian Lawyer’s Top 25 Most Influential Lawyers and Calgary Avenue’s Top 40 Under 40, Dr. Charles Osuji has a resume stacked with accolades and awards. But his path to excellence was far from easy.
When Osuji first arrived from Nigeria in Canada in 2011, sponsored by his older brother, he felt anxious about his prospects as an internationally trained lawyer. “I had just graduated and been called to the Bar back home,” he recalls. “But in Canada, I had no professional network and struggled with self-doubt, wondering if I’d made the right decision to move.”
