What I'm looking for

I am looking for a dynamic legal environment that fosters growth and innovation, where I can apply my skills in tax law and legal research while contributing to impactful projects.

I am a dedicated legal professional currently pursuing my B.L. at the Nigerian Law School, where I have honed my skills in tax compliance and legal research. My experience as a Tax Associate at Kehinde Kassim & Co has equipped me with the ability to implement effective tax strategies, ensuring compliance while achieving significant savings for clients. I take pride in my analytical skills, which have allowed me to provide valuable insights on tax discrepancies and streamline planning processes.

In addition to my role in tax law, I have gained practical experience through internships at Idowu Sofola & Co and Adewale Olatunde & Co, where I supported legal teams in drafting documents and conducting research. My freelance work as a Social Media Manager has further enhanced my communication skills and creativity, allowing me to engage audiences effectively. I am passionate about leveraging my legal knowledge and skills to contribute positively to the legal field.
