I am a dual-qualified corporate lawyer with a strong foundation in business law, regulatory compliance, and financial services regulation.

My experience includes advising businesses, investors, and individuals on legal risk management and corporate structuring.
As a co-founder and managing partner of Greenhills Partners Law Firm in Cameroon, I have provided legal support to companies and financial institutions, focusing on corporate governance and dispute resolution.
