Meet Rob
Ravinder “Rob” Bagga is the founder and Managing Partner of Bagga & Associates in Calgary. His decades in legal practice underpin the firm he has built: an established practice serving individuals, families and businesses.
His work spans criminal defence, immigration, family disputes, real estate and business matters. That breadth is particularly relevant when a legal concern touches more than one part of a client’s life—family, livelihood, property or future plans.
Rob’s role combines the leadership of the firm with legal advice and representation. A consultation is an opportunity to discuss the issue, identify important documents and deadlines, and consider the next steps appropriate to the circumstances.
Courtroom & litigation experience
Rob is named as counsel in the reported decisions below: a criminal trial acquittal in the Provincial Court of Alberta and sponsorship appeals allowed by the Immigration Appeal Division of the Immigration and Refugee Board.
The decisions provide a public record of counsel’s involvement and the tribunal’s reasoning. They are presented with their actual outcomes—not as a promise of success in another case.
