Preksha Mehta Summer Law Student

Preksha Mehta

Preksha Mehta is an incoming summer law student in Gowling WLG's Montréal office where she will begin articling in 2024.

Preksha is currently completing her second year of the combined B.C.L/ J.D program at McGill University, where she will obtain her double degree in 2023. 

In completing her undergraduate degree with a double major in Sociology and French at the University of Toronto, she developed a keen interest in establishing a bilingual practice with a focus in advocacy and litigation. Her interest in litigation stemmed both as a Caseworker and Student Advocate at the Legal Information Clinic at McGill (LICM). As a Caseworker, she was tasked with taking on legal questions, conducting legal research and providing information on practical implications for clients. In her capacity as a Student Advocate for LICM, she has represented the interests of students in front of disciplinary boards and the Office of the Dean of Students at McGill.

Preksha is also interested in business and health law, interests she developed while serving on the editorial board of McGill Journal of Law and Health. In her free time, she contributes to McGill's Faculty of Law student newspaper, the Quid Novi, and the Contours Journal.
