About Shamim Aidun

Education and Experience

I completed my Bachelor of Arts at the University of British Columbia, followed by a Master of Arts in Applied Legal Studies at Simon Fraser University. I then earned my law degree at the University of Birmingham in the United Kingdom.

I received several academic awards, including:

Before joining a boutique law firm in Kelowna that specialized in estate law, I articled and practiced in the Cariboo region, where I developed a broad-based law practice that included family law. I ultimately returned home to Kelowna to focus my practice on estate planning, estate administration, and estate litigation.

Court Appearances

I have appeared as counsel at all levels of court in the Province of British Columbia, including:

I have also appeared before:

Outside the office, I enjoy golf, water sports, dirt biking, gardening, and skiing at Big White.

I am deeply involved in the legal community through the Canadian Bar Association, British Columbia Branch (the “CBABC”). I serve on the CBABC Provincial Council, which serves in an advisory role to the CBABC Board of Directors, and I contribute to discussions that help inform the Branch’s work on policy, governance, and issues affecting lawyers, the justice system, and the public across British Columbia.

I also serve as Chair of the Wills & Trusts Section (Okanagan) with the CBABC, where I provide leadership for the Section’s activities, including continuing professional development and networking programs. In this role, I work with Section leadership to engage members, support programming, and help facilitate discussions on emerging legal and policy issues of interest to the Section’s members.

I am a member of the Kelowna Estate Planning Society, the Trial Lawyers Association of British Columbia, and the Kelowna Bar Association, and I remain active in local and regional professional activities.

I am fluent in Farsi and English.
