He then obtained his Juris Doctor (JD) from the University of New Brunswick in Fredericton where he received the New Brunswick Trial Lawyers’ Association and the McInnes Cooper Prizes in Trial Practice. Since being called to the bar in 2015, Dhiren has concentrated his practice in the areas of civil and commercial litigation, primarily in personal injury and insurance law.
