Mr. Mansoori-Dara was educated in the United Kingdom, obtaining a Bachelor of Laws degree from the University of Cambridge in 2004. His primary areas of study were criminal law; constitutional law; human rights law and the law of evidence.

After returning to Canada, Mr. Mansoori-Dara completed his articling program with Hope Heinrich LLP, during which he gained experience in a wide range of complex cases including murder, sex assault and drug files.

From 2008 to 2010 Mr. Mansoori-Dara worked at Baker Newby LLP as a federal prosecutor. He ultimately held the position of Administrative Crown, overlooking all aspects of federal prosecutions in the North Fraser Valley. As a result of that experience, Mr. Mansoori-Dara gained expertise in the law involving the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act and the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.

In August 2010, Mr. Mansoori-Dara joined Mines and Company where he is focused on criminal defence work. He continues to work regularly as an ad hoc Crown Prosecutor conducting a wide range of Criminal Code prosecutions.

Mr. Mansoori-Dara is an active member of the Canadian Bar Association's Vancouver Criminal Law subsection. On a monthly basis, he contributes valuable work, analyzing the emerging caselaw and writing caselaw summaries for his fellow criminal law practitioners.

Drawing on his considerable experience as a Crown Prosecutor and his excellent legal research skills, Mr. Mansoori-Dara has the necessary legal knowledge and courtroom skills to achieve the best possible results for his clients.
