What I'm looking for

I’m looking to contribute to organizational goals while developing my professional capacity and advancing in my career.

At LAW BASE CHAMBERS, I work on civil and commercial litigation involving debt recovery, contracts, human rights, land transactions, employment, and banking disputes. I also conduct legal research and draft contracts, briefs, notices, and other legal documents.

Previously, I was an Associate Counsel at CITY SOLICITORS and A.B. TASE & COMPANY, and served as Counsel with the National Youth Service Corps at the Ministry of Justice, Ebonyi State. My practice has included corporate and commercial matters, property, banking and finance, and company and mortgage registrations.
