Nirvikar (Nivi) Grewal

Associate Lawyer

Nirvikar (Nivi) Grewal is a family lawyer at Loyens Law, practising in Ontario since her call to the bar in 2021. She was previously called to the bar in India in 2015. Nivi represents clients across Toronto and the Greater Toronto Area in matters involving divorce, decision-making responsibility (custody), parenting time (access), child support, spousal support, and equalization of property.

Her practice is grounded in Ontario’s Family Law Act, the federal Divorce Act, and related legislation governing parenting, support, and property division. Nivi appears before the Ontario Court of Justice and the Superior Court of Justice, guiding clients through conferences, motions, and negotiated resolutions with careful preparation and structured advocacy.

Advocating for Fathers and Men in Toronto Family Court

As a Toronto family lawyer for men, Nivi is committed to ensuring fathers are fully heard and meaningfully involved in their children’s lives. She understands that many men feel uncertain or overlooked during separation and custody proceedings. Her role is to provide clear legal guidance, realistic advice, and firm representation within Ontario’s legal framework.

Nivi takes a client-centred approach that balances strong advocacy with empathy. She ensures clients:

• Understand their rights and obligations under Ontario law
• Are prepared for each stage of the court process
• Receive practical advice grounded in long-term outcomes
• Have a clear strategy tailored to their circumstances

She believes effective representation requires both legal precision and an understanding of the emotional realities families face during separation.

Unique Perspective in Parenting and Custody Matters

Nivi brings a distinctive background to her family law practice. In addition to working with both family and criminal law clients, she has over 10 years of experience working with children, including five years in India supporting children in need of care and protection and those in conflict with the law.

This experience gives her valuable insight into children’s developmental and emotional needs, which informs her approach to decision-making responsibility and parenting time cases. She approaches parenting disputes with a practical understanding of how court decisions impact children beyond the courtroom.

A Grounded and Forward-Focused Approach

Separation and custody disputes can feel overwhelming. Nivi encourages clients to focus on long-term stability rather than short-term conflict. She works to help individuals make informed decisions that support both their parental role and their future security.

Her advice to those navigating separation is simple: prioritize your well-being and your children’s long-term best interests, build the right support system, and approach decisions with clarity and perspective.

Outside the Practice

Outside of her legal work, Nivi enjoys travelling, drawing, and reading. She values spending quality time with family and friends and believes that maintaining balance is essential, both in life and in legal practice.
