Who We Are

Aleksandar Jeremić is the founder and principal at Anchor Law. He is a Barrister and Solicitor based in Toronto, Canada, and Anchor Law is the embodiment of his immigration and refugee law practice. But more than that, he is an immigrant himself who moved to Canada with his parents as a result of the wars that ravaged the Balkans in the 1990s. 

This experience sparked an interest in international affairs and politics early in his life and Aleksandar pursued an undergraduate and graduate degree in Political Science at the University of Toronto.

His intellectual curiosity then led him to the law program at the University of Ottawa, where he realized that immigration and refugee law appealed to him. It perfectly combines his interest in politics and global issues with his desire to be an advocate and work with the public. 

During law school he worked at an Ottawa-based immigration law office, and then articled at a boutique insurance defence firm. Although working in a different area of the law taught him valuable new skills and allowed him to gain advocacy experience in appearances before the Ontario Superior Court, it also reinforced his belief that immigration and refugee law is his true calling.

The next logical step was to start Anchor Law and infuse his practice with the experience and empathy born out of his work and own life experience.
