Nafisa Nazarali

Nafisa Nazarali graduated with the highest distinction, Summa Cum Laude with an Honours Bachelor of Arts from York University and completed her Juris Doctor Program at Osgoode Hall Law School in 2009. She has been practicing exclusively in the area of family law since her call to the bar in 2010.

Nafisa began her career as a family law lawyer at a small firm in Brampton in 2010. After starting a family, she wanted to be closer to home and accepted a position as a junior associate with a prominent law firm in Brooklin in January 2014. Nafisa worked her way up to the role of senior managing associate lawyer at the firm. In her role, Nafisa had a full family law practice but also mentored other lawyers in the firm on various issues arising in out and of their practice. She motivated team members to look for ways to stretch and develop their skills in navigating the challenging issues arising in family law practice.

Missing the intimate nature of a smaller firm environment and yearning to pursue her dream of owning her own practice, in December 2022, Nafisa along with her partners, Jason Isenberg and Adam Borer, formed INB Family Law LLP.

From her first day on the job as a family lawyer, Nafisa knew that she had found her true calling. She is passionate about her work and finds it satisfying to be able to help her clients navigate the difficult journey of separation and divorce. Nafisa is a child focused lawyer who keeps the best interest of the children in mind whenever working with her clients. She believes that the best way to resolve family law issues is through amicable discussions and negotiations. Nafisa is a strong believer that the collaborative process is the best process out there for separating couples however she is not afraid to litigate when necessary.

Nafisa is actively involved in her community. She is the current chair of Collaborative Practice Durham Region, Chair of the Durham Region Law Association (chair of the family law committee) and Board member of the AFCC-O. She is also past chair of the Malvern Family Resource Centre and sat on the Board of Directors of the Ontario Association of Collaborative Professionals and Luke’s Place.
