Sarah Tran is an articling student at Gilbert’s with a particular interest in intellectual property, entertainment, media, and art law. Her interests sit at the intersection of law, culture, and the creative industries, and she brings a multidisciplinary perspective to legal issues involving brands, media, technology, and cultural expression.
Sarah earned her B.C.L./J.D. from McGill University’s Faculty of Law, where she served as Co-President of the McGill Sports and Entertainment Law Association and was a fellow of the Transformative Business Law Summer Academy. In 2025, Sarah was awarded a Fulbright Canada Killam Fellowship, through which she studied at Southwestern Law School in Los Angeles. Before law school, she graduated with high distinction from the University of Toronto with an Honours Bachelor of Arts, double majoring in Sociology and Philosophy with a minor in French.
Outside of her legal work, Sarah is a photographer, writer, and part-time YouTuber with a longstanding interest in storytelling and the creative industries. Her experience creating digital content and working with arts initiatives in Toronto and Montreal has given her a first-hand appreciation of the opportunities and challenges facing creators.
In her free time, Sarah enjoys rock climbing, biking around the city, and unwinding with classic TV sitcoms.
