What I'm looking for

I’m interested in business operations, finance, and investment, as well as work involving criminal justice, intellectual property, data protection and privacy, human rights, energy law, compliance, risk management, and corporate governance.

At Giwa Legal, I research legal issues, review documents for case preparation and regulatory compliance, and support client communication and follow-up. I also authored and published a legal article on the firm’s website.

During internships with Ogundipe & Akinduro LP and NextGen IP Mentorship Programme, Cohort 2, I worked on legal research and writing. I co-authored an article with fellow interns and developed an article on compulsory licensing under the Patents and Designs Act.

At OLABISI ONABANJO UNIVERSITY, I chaired the Constitutional Review Committee of the Law Students' Society, OOU, leading a seven-member committee in reviewing the society’s constitution and presenting reform proposals. I also founded and led the OOU chapter of West African Law Students' Association.

My experience includes litigation support, legal research and writing, document management, and administrative coordination. I’m interested in business operations, finance, investment, and legal areas including intellectual property, data protection, compliance, and corporate governance.
