She provides clear, practical, and client-centred solutions. Fun-ebi dedicates her time to understanding each client’s circumstances and goals.

Her approach combines accountability, professionalism, empathy, and clarity in meeting both legal standards and client expectations.
Fun-ebi earned her Bachelor of Laws degree from Igbinedion University, Nigeria, in 2010, and her Barrister-at-Law from the Nigerian Law School, which qualified her to be called to the Nigerian Bar as a Barrister and Solicitor of the Supreme Court of Nigeria in 2012.

She also obtained a Certificate of Qualification from the Federation of Law Societies of Canada (2024), a Certificate in Legal Research and Writing from the Canadian Centre for Professional Legal Education, Alberta (2023), and a Certificate in Policy Development and Implementation from Saint Mary’s University in Halifax, Nova Scotia (2025).
