What I'm looking for

I seek a role using my litigation and research strengths in a collaborative firm or institution focused on corporate law, ADR, or policy, with mentoring and growth opportunities.

I am a First Class Bachelor of Laws graduate with hands-on internship experience at top Nigerian law firms and a university research assistantship, focused on corporate law, ADR, maritime law, jurisprudence and organizational leadership.

During internships at Aluko & Oyebode and Templars I supported litigation and arbitration matters, drafted pleadings, conducted substantive legal research (including on GMOs), and polished documents through rigorous proofreading and editing.

I contributed to a revised public international law textbook, led student-law associations, and volunteered on civic and girls-empowerment projects; I bring attention to detail, strong research skills, and a commitment to ethical, service-oriented legal practice.
