She prioritizes collaborative solutions whenever possible to help clients reach fair and efficient resolutions. When litigation is necessary, she is fully prepared to advocate for her clients in court.
Samaa completed her Juris Doctor at Western Law in 2024, where she served as President of the Middle Eastern Law Students’ Association and advised the Law Society of Ontario’s Equity Advisory Group. She also gained hands-on experience as a caseworker and team leader at Community Legal Services, where she successfully argued an urgent motion before the Superior Court of Justice. Before law school, she earned a Master of Arts in Applied Politics and a Bachelor of Arts (Hons.) in Political Science and Philosophy from Wilfrid Laurier University.
Samaa joined SV Law as a summer student in 2023, returned to article with the firm in 2024–2025, and was called to the Ontario Bar in 2025.
