About Iffy Alade, Senior Associate at Cohen Immigration Law

Ifeoluwa "Iffy" Alade is a Senior Associate at Cohen Immigration Law where he works with people exploring the Canadian citizenship process — with a focus on proof of citizenship and citizenship by descent. He helps clients understand the options available to them and what a complete application requires, working alongside the firm's attorneys, who provide the legal advice on every file. He holds a law degree (LL.B.) from Newcastle University in the United Kingdom and brings a background spanning legal technology, growth and entrepreneurship.

Before Cohen Immigration Law, Iffy worked in legal technology as part of the team at Spellbook (Legal AI), and earlier founded and scaled two companies of his own, working with well-known consumer brands along the way. That mix of building businesses and working directly with clients shapes how he approaches every conversation.

Having immigrated to Canada himself at the age of five, Iffy brings a personal understanding of what it means to build a life and a future here. He is known for his responsiveness and his ability to make clients feel genuinely understood, turning a process that can feel overwhelming into a clear set of next steps. He speaks English and French.
