About Nigel Haykin

Nigel Haykin is an associate at GGFI Law LLP who helps charities and not-for-profit organizations with the legal side of how they're set up and run, under federal as well as provincial rules. That work starts with incorporation and charitable registration and carries on through compliance and the governance, structural and regulatory questions an organization faces as it operates.

Nigel's legal career began in the Hamilton region, where Nigel articled and then practised with full-service firms after finishing at Western Law in 2020. The move to GGFI came in 2023, and Nigel is a member of the Waterloo Region Law Association.

Law wasn't the first field of study. Nigel majored in Classics at McMaster University, adding a minor in Archaeology. Outside work, Nigel's interests run to good films, reading and writing, and time spent with family.
