LAGOS, Lagos

University of Ibadan

I am a Legal Practitioner and Chartered Company Secretary passionate about helping businesses navigate the complex intersections of Corporate Law, Regulatory Compliance, Intellectual Property, Data Protection, Employment Law, and Corporate Finance. With hands-on experience advising startups, fintechs, and established companies, I provide practical, business-centered legal solutions — from structuring multi-billion naira transactions and managing corporate governance frameworks to protecting and commercializing intellectual property rights across multiple industries. I am particularly skilled at drafting and negotiating contracts, developing compliance programs, supporting mergers and acquisitions, and representing clients in complex dispute resolution matters through litigation, arbitration, and mediation. Driven by excellence, continuous learning, and strategic thinking, I am committed to delivering legal services that not only meet regulatory standards but also align closely with my clients’ business goals. I am passionate about innovation, corporate governance, IP strategy, and emerging fields like technology law and data privacy, and I look forward to contributing to dynamic, forward-thinking organisations. I am equally passionate about the development of Sports in Nigeria and Africa with particular interests in Laws Governing Sports, Intellectual Property strategies for Sports, Transfer Monitoring Systems, and Sports Administration & Compliance.
