Maleena Dell

Maleena is a summer student at Gilbert’s, bringing a multidisciplinary background that bridges science and client services.

Before starting law school, Maleena worked in financial communications and served a brief stint at Chanel. She also spent time doing instructional design for the Queen’s University’s School of Medicine while completing her undergraduate studies.

At Queen’s Law, Maleena has actively contributed to the Legal Aid Clinic, where she has spent time with the Elder Law team to assist with estate planning for members of the community.  She recently received the course prize for top oralist in her trial advocacy class and looks forward to applying those skills during her summer at Gilbert’s. This Fall, Maleena will participate in an exchange at the National University of Singapore, and she is excited to explore a new part of the world.

Maleena is eager to work on cases that implicate life sciences, particularly pharmaceutical cases, and to become involved in Gilbert’s Global. Maleena’s academic background is in biochemistry, but she also studied art history during her undergraduate degree and plans on exploring Toronto’s arts community this summer. Outside of the office, Maleena enjoys painting, reading, and spending time with her family.
