About Sanaz Sarah
Sanaz Sarah Bereliani took a traditional route into law, combining a scientific undergraduate background with a law degree before entering practice.

Those academic steps led to judicial and clerking roles that shaped an early interest in employment and bankruptcy matters.
After law school she spent time as a judicial law clerk for a judge at the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. That stint gave her firsthand experience in administrative procedure and case drafting. Shortly afterward she served as a law clerk at Pacifica International Law Group, LLP, where she assisted on litigation matters and legal research.
