What I'm looking for

I’m seeking remote legal-support, legal-research, contract-administration, compliance, or property-law opportunities—plus relocation roles—where Nigerian legal expertise and cross-border legal support are valued.

I’m a Nigerian-qualified Legal Practitioner with 13+ years of post-call experience, advising and representing clients across civil and criminal litigation, property transactions, real-estate matters, and legal research. I bring practical case-management discipline, clear written advocacy, and strong client advisory capability.

As Founder / Principal Partner of Kenneth Lincoln & Associates, I lead the delivery of legal services end-to-end—from legal research and drafting to filing, advocacy, negotiation, and post-matter reporting. Previously, as Head of Legal at Otemu & Co, I oversaw legal workstreams, translated research into client-ready documentation, and supported litigation through court filings and client liaison.
