Lawyer

Adrienne Fanjoy (she/her) is an associate lawyer at Nelligan Law, and a member of our Labour and Employment groups.

Adrienne’s approach to her practice is grounded in empathy, compassion, and practicality. Adrienne is not only an advocate for her clients, but a guide, ensuring that her clients understand their options at every step.

Adrienne obtained her undergraduate and law degree at Queen’s University in Kingston before returning to her hometown of Ottawa. At school, she worked as a caseworker at the Queen’s Family Law Clinic, where she provided pro bono legal assistance to low-income individuals, including survivors of intimate partner violence. Her extensive volunteer work was recognized in 2019, when she received the Brian Yealland Community Leadership Award for her work with marginalized youth. She was also the recipient of the Professor H.R.S. Scholarship for academic excellence in the subject of Evidence. She was called to the Bar in 2020.

Outside of the office, Adrienne enjoys exploring Gatineau Park, training her (naughty, but lovable) dog, and spending time with friends and family.
