Olusegun Kofoworola
@olusegunkofoworola1
Lawyer and public-interest leader with human-rights and data-driven skills.
NigeriaWhat I'm looking for
I’m a practicing lawyer with a strong public-interest focus, built through legal research, legal drafting, legal representation, and litigation. I bring a disciplined, court-focused approach—handling filings, proofreading and typing legal processes, and supporting the compilation of legal documents.
In earlier roles, I strengthened my professional leadership and communication impact. As Communication Manager at a law clinic, I directed the Media and Communication Directorate, managed correspondence, documented outreaches, and led the transformation of the clinic’s social media awareness—an effort recognized with the clinic’s best director award.
Today, I keep combining advocacy with strategy. I conduct legal consultations, undertake legal research, deliver representation and drafting, and support dispute resolution through ADR, with particular interest in human rights, FOI, and public interest lawyering.
I’m also a builder and organizer. As a cofounder through a civil liberty-focused foundation, I handle case research and volunteer training, guide budget and foundation planning, and drive mission-aligned engagement—while continuously expanding my analytical toolkit through data analytics and data science training.
