Qualified lawyer with litigation expertise and client-focused approach.

Nigeria

What I'm looking for

I seek a role that values client advocacy and offers opportunities for professional growth in litigation.

I am a qualified lawyer with 4 years of post-qualification experience in litigation, dedicated to effective client representation and courtroom advocacy. My approach is client-focused and solutions-oriented, ensuring that I handle legal matters from initial consultation to final resolution with professionalism and commitment.

At Sylvanus Obot & Co (Kingdom Chambers), I have successfully drafted and reviewed over 50 legal documents, conducted extensive legal research, and represented clients in more than 20 court proceedings, achieving favorable outcomes in 80% of cases. My ability to manage multiple client briefs simultaneously has contributed to a significant increase in client satisfaction.

Previously, I served as a Legal Research Assistant at the Akwa Ibom State Judiciary, where I provided critical insights into legal statutes and regulations, and assisted in drafting legal documents. My experience as a Legal Intern further solidified my skills in litigation and legal strategy, allowing me to support senior attorneys effectively.
