Rachel Asaba

I am a Senior Associate with over a decade of experience advising and representing clients in high-stakes litigation, banking and financial disputes, arbitration, and regulatory compliance. I combine rigorous legal research with pragmatic strategy to deliver favorable outcomes for corporate and institutional clients.

I lead complex litigation mandates from inception to conclusion, drafting pleadings, managing courtroom representation, and coordinating multi-disciplinary teams. I have hands-on experience enforcing arbitral awards, handling fraud and debt recovery matters, and advising on regulatory exposures in regulated sectors.

I regularly prepare litigation risk reports, legal opinions, and strategic briefings for boards and senior executives, and I conduct litigation-focused due diligence in transactions. My background working with the judiciary has sharpened my judgment-writing and evidentiary assessment skills, which inform a court-first approach to dispute resolution.

I am committed to mentoring junior lawyers and contributing to business development initiatives that expand client relationships and market presence. I seek roles where I can continue to lead high-value dispute portfolios, drive strategic legal risk management, and help clients navigate cross-border and regulatory challenges.
