Detail-oriented legal professional with expertise in corporate and civil law.
What I'm looking for
I am a highly enthusiastic legal professional with a strong academic and practical foundation in corporate and civil law. My experience as a Legal Associate at Proactive Chambers has equipped me with the skills to represent clients effectively in various civil and family law proceedings. I take pride in my ability to draft motions, pleadings, and legal letters with precision and speed, which has contributed to the successful recovery of premises and debt recovery actions exceeding Three Hundred Million Naira.
In addition to my role as a Legal Associate, I have served as a Legal Assistant during my National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) at Ogun State Property & Investment Corporation, where I assisted legal officers with contract reviews and documentation of property transactions. My background also includes valuable internships, where I honed my legal research and drafting skills, collaborated on litigation strategies, and supported trial preparations. I am eager to contribute to a proactive legal team while continuing to develop professionally in both legal and supportive capacities.
