What I'm looking for

I seek to contribute to top-tier commercial litigation at the highest level.

At Olujinmi & Akeredolu, I prepare and file court processes for commercial and civil litigation, and research Nigerian statutes and judicial authorities to support case theories and trial strategies.

I attend hearings before the High Court, Court of Appeal, and Federal High Court, recording judicial observations, orders, and directions. I also review client and transactional documents to identify compliance gaps and potential litigation risks.

Earlier, at Babatunde & Co. (Greenfield Chambers), I researched commercial law and employment disputes, and assisted counsel with legal opinions and case briefs. I’m a Barrister and Solicitor of the Supreme Court of Nigeria and a member of the Nigerian Bar Association (Ibadan Branch).
