Jaskiran Gakhal
LAWYER

I joined HHBG Lawyers in July 2024 as an Articling Student. Previously, I worked as a summer student with the Migrant Workers Centre, assisting migrant workers with their employment, human rights, and immigration law matters. I am committed to empowering workers to exercise their legal rights.

I graduated from the Peter A. Allard School of Law, after obtaining my undergraduate degree in Honours Political Science at the University of British Columbia. During law school, I competed in the Laskin Moot, co-coordinated the Environmental Law Group’s Negotiation Competition, and volunteered with Pro Bono Students Canada. I also successfully advocated for a client in provincial court through the Law Students’ Legal Advice Program.

I grew up in Surrey, on the traditional, ancestral, and unceded territories of the Coast Salish peoples. In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with family and friends, hiking, improving my language skills, completing 1000+ piece jigsaw puzzles, and watching hockey.

"Jaskiran was strategic, empathetic, and incredibly fast—she even finalized my urgent documents on Christmas Eve. She turned a stressful situation into a confident one! I also want to give a special shout-out to her assistant, Vlada, for her incredible efficiency. The entire team went above and beyond to finalize urgent documents for me right before the holidays. If you need a team that truly has your back, this is it."

"I’m extremely grateful to Addie and Jaskiran for their help during a difficult employment situation. They were thoughtful, responsive, and incredibly effective. They helped me negotiate a very strong severance package that exceeded my expectations, especially considering my very short time with the company. I felt supported and well-informed throughout the process. Highly recommend their services."

"I had the pleasure of working with Nicole Howell and Jaskiran Gakhal on my employment case. Nicole understood the case from the get-go and kept me reassured during this difficult time. Words cannot express how appreciative I am that Nicole, at the Partner level no less, was involved throughout the process and helped handle the case. Her experience was invaluable. It was evident both Nicole and Jas spent a lot of time reviewing the case materials, and I appreciated the patience and analysis they brought. They kept me well informed throughout the legal process, and I could tell Nicole spent significant time navigating what she thought would be best from my perspective. I would highly recommend Nicole, Jas, and HHBG. They really advocate for employees, are experienced and compassionate, and that's hard to find in this industry!"
