Who is Dira?

  • At Dira, you won't find portraits of any lawyers or consultants named Dira hanging in our lobby because they don’t work here. In fact, they never did. Instead, when naming our firm, we decided to look to our clients for our inspiration because they embody the values to which we aspire.

Our Values

  • Our clients are leaders in their industries, professions and communities. They display courage, integrity and responsibility in all that they do.

Innovators

  • Our clients are innovators. They leverage intelligence and creativity to make things more efficient and effective.

Driven

  • Our clients are driven. They are dedicated to pursuing their vision and goals through hard work and perseverance.

Unique

  • Our clients are unique. They each share their own international experiences to enhance the lives of the people they touch.
  • As you can see, we think our clients are extraordinary. So, we thought it was important that our firm's name was equally extraordinary and highlighted our focus on you, not us.

Here's the story behind our name

  • Dira is Swahili translation for compass. So, just as a “Dira” “compass” that shows the cardinal directions used for navigation and geographic orientation, we help our clients seize exciting opportunities in today's smaller world to navigate through the murky immigration journey. As the magnetized needle which pivots to align itself with magnetic north, you can rely on Dira to align you immigration matter so you can relax and enjoy the journey.
