Nisha Subba, J.D.
Nisha is a fifth year associate whose practice centers on Trusts, Estates, and Real Estate. She received her J.D. from Queen’s University and is a graduate of the Criminal Justice and Public Policy program at the University of Guelph.
Nisha feels fortunate that her areas of practice allow her to personally interact with her clients and assist them through important decisions and milestones in their lives. Nisha grew up with a large family, just one sister, but eleven cousins that she regards as brothers and sisters. The strength of these bonds was a great support to her when her family immigrated to Canada when she was eighteen.
While she is forever grateful for being welcomed into Canada when her family needed it most, living in various countries during her formative years also provided Nisha the invaluable opportunity to meet and form lasting bonds with people from diverse backgrounds. After graduating from university, she built on these experiences by moving to South Korea for two years to teach. She is fortunate to have taught young children and have seen her efforts rewarded with positive results. The desire to continue doing good for people is something that has greatly influenced her decision to pursue a legal career.
Nisha is fluent in English, Nepali and Hindi.
