What I'm looking for

I seek a dynamic legal environment that fosters growth and challenges my skills.

I am a dedicated legal professional currently pursuing my Masters of Law (LLM) at Nasarawa State University, with an expected completion in 2025. I hold a Barrister at Law (BL) qualification from the Nigerian Law School and a Bachelor of Laws (LL.B) from Salem University. My academic background, combined with extensive practical experience, has equipped me with a solid foundation in legal research, drafting, and courtroom advocacy.

In my current role as an Associate at Madyan Legal Consult, I engage directly with clients, conducting interviews and providing legal opinions. My experience spans various legal environments, including representation in multiple courts and preparation of legal documents. I have also contributed as a Legal Research Assistant, where I supported case analysis and provided insights that informed legal strategies. My internships have further honed my skills in legal writing and courtroom procedures, preparing me for a successful career in law.
