What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role that offers opportunities for growth, collaboration, and impactful legal work in a dynamic environment.

I am a highly skilled and versatile legal professional with a robust background in corporate governance, compliance, litigation, and startup advisory. Graduating among the top 15% of my class at Imo State University and holding a Second Class Honours (Lower Division) from the Nigerian Law School, I bring both academic excellence and practical expertise to every engagement.

My experience spans working with multinational corporations, startups, and law firms, specializing in drafting and negotiating complex contracts, implementing frameworks that align with global standards, and providing strategic advisory services on cross-border transactions. My adaptability and proficiency in navigating international regulations make me an asset to organizations seeking to scale and ensure regulatory compliance.

Beyond traditional legal practice, I have experience in intellectual property, cryptocurrency, and technology law, leveraging certifications in Legal Tech, AI & Law, and Intellectual Property to address dynamic legal challenges. My effective communication and analytical skills allow me to deliver innovative solutions tailored to clients' unique needs.
