Zakir K Mir, Esq.
I am licensed in Pennsylvania, USA, with license number 320714. You can verify my status as a registered attorney via the official PA State lawyer directory, my website (Borderless Counsel), Avvo, or via the portfolio documents in my profile below . I have been licensed and practicing law in the US for 9-10 years. I’m also licensed in Nova Scotia, Canada, with License Number 2025-0022.
My specialties are: Business Law and Contracts, Tax Assistance, Intellectual Property (including trademark filing), and US immigration petitions in particular.
I am a corporate attorney with experience in the US, Canada, Europe, Asia and the MENA region (Middle East and North Africa). I am a member of the bar in Pennsylvania, and have worked as Corporate Counsel for a major global logistics company, overseeing legal matters in the US/Canada, Europe and Middle East. Subsequently, I worked in private practice, and now manage my own digital legal consultancy. I have litigation experience and have represented clients in lawsuits as well. However, my specialty is Contract and Corporate law (including corporate tax law), Immigration and Trademark Filing.
Currently I serve clients in North America (Canada/US) and the Middle East (Dubai, GCC Region)/Asia/Europe through an office in Toronto, Canada and Manama, Bahrain, respectively. I split time between these locations.
PLEASE NOTE: All of my work is not on Upwork, however, I am trying to bring more business on here, and also work with a larger variety of clients. If I've bid on your project, I have probably reviewed it carefully and believe it fits well with my expertise.
Also, despite any ratings, the best way to figure out if I am a good fit is to have a preliminary discussion and set the scope of your project. So let's talk! Each client is different and each project has its own needs, whether big or small.
I have a strict personal mandate to make sure that I am reliable, accessible, honest and attentive to your needs whenever we work together.
Please review the documents in the "portfolio" section below to verify my credentials/licensing (below the review section). You can also browse my credentials and testimonials produced in my portfolio documents below.
Some career highlights include:
-Litigating major cases for my previous clients and winning judgments/settlements in excess of $500k-$2 million USD (one case I worked on as part of a team had a $20m USD settlement in my client's favor as well. However, I was part of a large team for this case).
-Reviewing and drafting thousands/tens of thousands of contracts, and developing expertise with contracts and terms and conditions.
-Assisting hundreds of clients in US immigration law, and with obtaining visas, permanent residency or other Immigration status in the US as an immigration attorney, and in Canada (through partners).
-Registering and Applying for hundreds of Trademarks on behalf of my clients with the USPTO.
-Successfully appealing and overturning many office actions refusing trademarks from the USPTO, and negotiating trademark settlement resolutions with third parties.
-Registering many trademarks successfully in the US and internationally (UK/EU/Germany/Canada) via the USPTO and WIPO process.
-Drafting credit control, terms and conditions and policy documents, which significantly mitigated risk and reduced costs/expenses for my previous company.
-Forming offshore and US based corporations to create a complex and well integrated corporate structure to enable tax savings and the efficient allocation of corporate assets.
I will be happy to be of service to any interested clients.
INSURANCE DISCLAIMER: Also, do note that because I work offshore, there is no requirement or possibility for Professional Liability Insurance in my Jurisdiction, and therefore the terms of liability and insurance requirements related to my work on Upwork are governed by the PA rules of Professional Conduct and Upwork Terms and Conditions.

The strength of any agreement lies in its details, details often overlooked until disputes arise. As an experienced attorney and contract specialist, I ensure those details work in your favor. I craft tailored, state-compliant contracts that protect your interests and preempt challenges, drawing on years of expertise to deliver precision and peace of mind.
My services go beyond drafting. I analyze existing agreements, pinpoint risks, and refine terms to align with your goals—whether it’s an employment contract, non-disclosure agreement, or shareholder deal. Clients rely on me for a wide range of legal documents, including:
• Sales and purchase agreements
• Real estate and lease contracts
• Franchise and software license agreements
• Trademarks, wills, and powers of attorney
• Legal opinions and business partnership documents
Every project reflects your jurisdiction’s laws, ensuring enforceability and relevance. My approach is client-driven: I listen, adapt, and produce solutions that fit your unique needs, avoiding one-size-fits-all templates. Past clients value my ability to turn complex legal needs into clear, actionable outcomes.
When you hire me, you get more than expertise, you get reliability. I’m committed to delivering exceptional quality, responding promptly, and being available when you need me. My work doesn’t just meet expectations; it’s designed to give you confidence in every transaction.

Do you want your trademark registered with the Amazon Brand Registry? Do you need to protect your trademark in Canada, the US, the UK, or other countries around the world? I'm an international trademark attorney with over 10 years of experience helping clients with the registration of trademarks.
My agency addresses copyright licensing for various works and we're able to file your trademark in various countries. I am also a certified trademark agent, mediator, and can help address conflicts without needing to go to court.
Trademark office action responses: Canada, US, UK, and EU for confusion, merely descriptive, not distinctive, etc.
Over the past few years technology has leaped ahead at a tremendous rate. Only a few years ago what was a fraction of our daily lives has now become a predominant part of everyday social interaction. With this change our society has been slow to adapt specifically in the area of law. Many small to medium sized businesses have trouble addressing issues in this growing field simple because they do not have the expertise or they cannot justify the additional staff or expenses. I believe that as companies are adjusting to the increased need for technology related services, I can work with them to provide these services. My network of experts are well versed in the legal areas of IP, IT, and ecommerce as well as laws relating to the Internet, music, and the entertainment industry. I can provide efficient and effective services ready to address most issues within a reasonable time. I will provide you and your Start-Up with an edge in the new digital age.
