I’m looking for an entry-level legal opportunity where I can deepen my work in intellectual property, property transactions, and dispute resolution—supported by mentorship—while contributing strong legal research, drafting, and client-focused case preparation.
Helen Eke
@helenem
Law graduate specializing in intellectual property, disputes, and property transactions.
What I'm looking for
I am a dedicated law graduate with a bilingual background in French and English, and a clear interest in Intellectual Property law, Property transactions, Trade and Dispute Resolutions. I bring management and administrative experience, along with exposure to intercultural teams and multilateral diplomatic conferences.
Through my Legal Extern role at IKWUETO LAW FIRM (SAN), I supported case preparations by conducting comprehensive legal research on constitutional and corporate governance issues, endorsing case files, and aiding counsel during client consultations. At the HIGH COURT OF FCT JABI, I gained firsthand courtroom exposure by assisting the court registrar in reviewing case files and recording proceedings, and by observing civil and criminal trials and the filing of court processes.
I also build practical coordination and documentation strength from my experience as a Virtual Assistant at TRANSLAT LIMITED and as a Intern at UNIDO, where I supported program secretariat work and handled meeting document reproduction and participant reception. As Chairperson and Secretary of the LAWSA Judiciary Advisory Committee (LJAC), I resolved operational challenges, ensured recommendations aligned with judicial standards, and managed scheduling, logistics, and summary reports—skills I now want to apply to dispute resolution and contract-focused legal work.
