Minahil is one of the most dedicated and creative minds I have had the pleasure of working with! Her dedication to Haast Law has been tremendous and her passion for legal education and ensuring that generations of kiwis become smarter legal kiwis is one of the main reasons we are able to consider the pathways we are looking at today! On top of her dedication, she has proven time and time again to be an amazing innovative mind with being our first Product Officer. Her ability to deliver above and beyond and leverage her expansive and deep legal knowledge has ensured she has the highest levels of trust within our organization. I am proud to have her be one of the earliest people to work on Haast Law. She is extremely approachable, data-driven, and has been a leader in our customer development and talking with potential users. In fact, she has allowed us to gain the level of trust and credibility that has made our journey a less rocky experience with fewer misses on what people want. She has embodied our mission and our purpose, and is motivated to keep pushing no matter the obstacles that may be in our way. She has been through the highest of highs and the lowest of lows with me throughout the time of Haast Laws inception, and I am extremely lucky to have met and work with her on this venture as, without her help, Haast Law would've been pushed back in development a good number of years!

I got the opportunity of working with Minahil for a class project for our Psychology course and she was wonderful to work with. To begin with, she has a natural skill for asking Questions you don’t think of, which leads to an approach that would have been unimaginable without that perspective. I was constantly impressed by her strong work ethic and her insightful, analytical & innovative ideas.
