Sophie Olafimihan
@sophieolafimihan
I conduct legal and academic research, coordinate projects, and turn complex information into clear, actionable materials.
What I'm looking for
I conducted legal research at Banwo & Ighodalo across intellectual property, shipping, private equity, and commercial litigation, producing concise memoranda and research summaries for attorneys. I also drafted and reviewed legal and transactional documents and supported corporate transaction work.
At Colby College, I've supported entrepreneurship programming, English Department operations, and faculty research projects. My work has included organizing research databases, developing research guides, coordinating events, managing communications, and creating promotional materials.
I've also facilitated discussions on Black American art at the Lunder Institute of American Art, collaborating with artists, curators, and historians to deliver public-facing programs. I bring careful research, documentation, stakeholder engagement, and project coordination to each assignment.
