“Located in the Heart of Vancouver”

Born and raised in Moose Jaw Saskatchewan, Nisson Goldman spent his undergraduate years at the University of Saskatchewan.  He was soon drawn to attend law school at the University of British Columbia.  After graduation, he had the privilege of articling with the late Bruce Boyd and the Honourable Thomas Dohm. 
Nisson Goldman has now been practicing law for 50 years with his current business address in the heart of Vancouver.  His strength comes from old school training and an attitude which has led him to develop a well rounded knowledge of many areas of law and the special talent to see the “big picture”.  These combined skills and talents enable him to fully analyze a legal problem.

As a young lawyer Nisson patiently honed his skills in the Courts of British Columbia.  Eventually, Nisson found his preference in solicitor’s work.  His passion finally turned to specific areas of business and personal law.  These include corporate organization, contracts, commercial real estate, estate planning, wills and estates and trusts as foundations of his practice.

Nisson prides himself on his personal attention to each client and his/her particular needs and his constant study of new trends and developments in his chosen fields.  In today’s fast-paced and rapidly changing marketplace it is reassuring to have the combination of Nisson’s wisdom, experience and extensive library of new knowledge.  Recognizing that today the complexity of law has increased so the need for “experts” in particular fields can often be the answer, Nisson has developed many valued connections with others in a variety of professions, which naturally includes law. In effect, what each client can expect is the full value of a hands-on senior lawyer combined with a team of specialists exactly when needed.

Nisson has also been very active in politics as past chairman of the Point Gray Liberal Association, and in the community as the past chairman of the Canadian Jewish Congress, Pacific Region. 

Nisson is married to Evelyn who along with Nisson is passionate about boating.  Together, they are the proud owner/operators of the MV Wakala, a Monk MacQueen motor yacht which they have painstakingly and beautifully restored.  You may often find them on the “Boat” in various parts of coastal British Columbia.
