Abudi has litigated across Canada, representing clients at legal proceedings in BC, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario, Yukon, NWT, and Nunavut. Abudi first served as in-house counsel for the Public Service Alliance of Canada, where he represented workers, psac and its subcomponent unions across the country. Seeking a new challenge, he founded Abudi Awaysheh Law Corporation in March 2022, transitioned to full-time practice in July 2024, and formally incorporated the firm in October 2024.

He is the most academically accomplished Arabic-speaking and Muslim lawyer in BC, and has litigated in more Canadian jurisdictions than any other lawyer of similar background. Born in Damascus, Abudi brings a deep understanding of the immigrant experience and is a trusted mediator within Arabic-speaking and Muslim communities. His maternal grandfather was an industrialist from the Diab family, and his paternal grandfather was Chief of the Awaysheh Clan of Al-Salt, Jordan. He serves as treasurer of the Umbrella Multicultural Health Co-op.
