What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that allow me to leverage my legal expertise in a dynamic environment, focusing on public sector advisory and litigation support.

I am a Legal and Operations Consultant with experience in commercial law, dispute resolution, and institutional development.

At A AND A Consulting in Freetown, I provide legal and policy advisory across law, finance, and governance, supporting institutional reforms and major projects like Freetown University. I also work with Bamidele Ibironke SAN & Co., handling commercial litigation, contract negotiation and drafting, debt recovery, and corporate governance matters.

Certified by ICMC and MTI as a Mediator, my interests lie at the intersection of law, consulting, and business strategy helping organizations manage legal risks, strengthen governance, and improve operations
