What I'm looking for

I’m seeking an entry-level legal role where I can deepen my courtroom and litigation skills while supporting corporate clients through due diligence, drafting, and dispute resolution—especially ADR, mediation, and negotiation—with strong mentorship and growth.

I’m a driven, detail-oriented law graduate (LLB, 2:1) with BL from the Nigerian Law School. I bring strong analytical and communication skills, with proven capability in legal research, drafting, litigation, and alternative dispute resolution, backed by hands-on courtroom practice and client representation.

At TRI SOLICITORS & PARTNERS, I’ve drafted and issued Letters of Demand and other pre-action correspondence for individual and corporate clients, prepared Respondents’ Briefs of Argument, and supported litigation through case preparation, court appearances, and file management. I also helped institute garnishee proceedings, drafted Terms of Settlement for mediation matters, and prepared Partnership Agreements and other commercial contracts.

I’ve strengthened my practical edge through roles including Associate at HAERADITAS ATTORNEYS, Law Externship at Estacon Solicitors, and Judicial Extern at Magistrate Court, Port Harcourt—where I assisted with legal research, drafting rulings and judgment summaries, and reviewed case files. Alongside due diligence work (including searches at the Marriage Registry and Land Registry), I stay committed to meticulous compliance, structured client interviews, and dispute resolution outcomes through negotiation, arbitration, and conciliation.
