What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role in a dynamic law firm handling corporate and commercial matters where I can apply litigation, transactional, and drafting skills and grow professionally.

I am a detail-oriented lawyer with experience in corporate law, commercial litigation, and dispute resolution, skilled in legal research, contract drafting, and property transactions. I have supported courts and clients through bail applications, trial preparation, conveyancing, and drafting pleadings and commercial documents.

I have worked in Lagos-based law firms across criminal and civil matters, consistently meeting client deadlines and improving document efficiency through precise drafting and analysis. I am eager to contribute my expertise to a dynamic law firm where I can advance in corporate and commercial legal practice.
