NigeriaWhat I'm looking for
I am a dynamic, results-driven lawyer with over four years' experience in litigation, corporate advisory, and regulatory compliance. I specialize in developing legal frameworks, drafting regulatory policies, and ensuring governance standards for corporate and maritime matters.
At law firms in Lagos, Port Harcourt and Ilorin I reviewed commercial agreements worth millions, handled vessel arrest and employment disputes, and produced high-quality court processes with strong approval rates. I have led trainings, supervised interns, and improved procedural workflows to increase efficiency and reduce delivery times.
I am committed to proactive problem-solving, operational precision, and effective stakeholder management, having recovered settlements, negotiated commercial contracts, and coordinated compliance programs that delivered measurable results.
