What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can drive due diligence and compliance, support corporate transactions and investor documentation, and handle dispute resolution with a negotiation-first mindset—especially where emerging technology and financial markets matter.

I litigate complex civil and commercial disputes across Lagos and Ondo state, working to secure favorable outcomes through strong pre-trial strategy and advocacy. I also advise clients on corporate/commercial matters, drafting and reviewing contracts and conducting legal research grounded in statutory and case law authorities.

Across transactions, I lead due diligence and regulatory review—shaping compliance strategy for a cryptocurrency start-up expanding across Nigeria, Kenya, and the USA—and I support fundraising and investor documentation for fintech clients. From property title clearance and statutory filings to debt recovery negotiation and pro bono criminal trials, I bring a practical, compliance-first approach to protect client interests.
