About Stephen J. Funk

Stephen Funk's work at GGFI Law centres on real estate, estate planning and estates, and corporate and commercial matters for a range of businesses, professionals included. The client list is broad, and there's real courtroom depth behind the advice: Stephen brings substantial civil litigation experience and has acted for clients at several levels of Ontario's courts, among them the Divisional Court and the Ontario Court of Appeal.

Stephen joined the firm in March 1991, the same month as the call to the bar, when it still went by Giesbrecht, Griffin. By 2008 the name had grown to Giesbrecht, Griffin, Funk & Irvine. The route into law ran through two universities: two years at the University of Waterloo, then an economics degree from Western in 1986 and a law degree there in 1989.

New Hamburg is home. Stephen grew up in the area and still lives there with family, and is the firm's representative with the New Hamburg Board of Trade, whose member listing gives the firm's address as 82 Huron Street.
