Lisa Middlemiss

Lisa Middlemiss is a law partner at Gomberg Dalfen, a boutique immigration law firm in Old Montreal. She initially joined the firm as a student in 2010 and subse- quently articled at the firm. Called to the Quebec Bar (Barreau du Québec) in August 2013, Lisa has been practising exclusively in Canadian immigration and citizenship law ever since.

Lisa completed civil law and common law degrees in 2012 at McGill University’s Integrated Law Program in Montreal. She was awarded her bachelor of arts in polit- ical science in 2008 from Simon Fraser University in Burnaby, British Columbia and completed a related university exchange in 2006 at l’Institut d’Études Politiques in Lille, France.

Throughout her practice in immigration and citizenship law, Lisa has been involved with the Canadian Bar Association (CBA). She initially served as vice-president and then president of the Quebec Branch of the CBA’s Immigration Law Section. Subsequently, Lisa was elected as a table officer of the CBA’s National Immigration Law Section’s executive, holding the lock-step positions of secretary/communications officer, vice-chair, chair, and immediate past chair.

Before attending law school, Lisa worked for the International Policy and Agreements Division of Human Resources and Social Development Canada in Ottawa, which gave her an appreciation for the civil service.

Lisa lives in Montreal with her spouse, Jonathan. She is an avid runner and follower of current events on all platforms.
