I am a multifaceted legal professional with over 17 years of experience spanning commercial law, data privacy, and emerging technologies. As a Solicitor of the Senior Courts of England and Wales and a Barrister and Solicitor of the Supreme Court of Nigeria, I bring a truly global perspective to my legal practice.
My passion for resolving disputes through various channels led me to become a Member of the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators (MCIArb), complemented by an Advanced Certificate in Domestic Arbitration. This expertise in alternative dispute resolution enhances my litigation skills, which I've honed representing clients in high-profile cases before trial and appellate courts.
I pride myself on staying at the forefront of legal innovation. I'm one of the few legal professionals globally to hold certifications as an Artificial Intelligence Governance Professional (AIGP), a Certified Information Privacy Professional/Europe (CIPP/E), and a Certified Information Privacy Manager (CIPM). This unique combination allows me to navigate the complex intersections of law, technology, and privacy in our digital age.
I've overseen complex commercial property transactions, high-value litigations, and cross-border regulatory compliance matters. My expertise in property law has been further refined through my role as General Counsel to several organizations, where I've advised on major residential development projects and resolved commercial property disputes.
I'm a firm believer in lifelong learning, which is why I'm currently pursuing a PhD focusing on the impact of Generative AI on Intellectual Property Rights. This academic endeavor keeps me at the cutting edge of legal trends and technological advancements.
In recognition of my contributions to the legal field, I've been honored with fellowships from several prestigious institutions, including the Institute of Corporate Administration of Nigeria, Institute of Business Development and Finance of Nigeria, Chartered Institute of Global Communications and Diplomacy of Nigeria and the Public Diplomacy and Management of Nigeria. I'm also an active member of the International Association of Privacy Professionals (IAPP), the Law Society of England and Wales and the Nigerian bar Association.
My diverse skill set, spanning complex litigation, AI governance, data protection, and commercial property law, allows me to offer a versatile and comprehensive approach to legal challenges. I strive to bridge traditional legal practice with cutting-edge technological understanding, positioning myself as a thought leader and innovator in the ever-evolving field of law.
I'm passionate about leveraging my unique blend of experiences and qualifications to tackle complex legal challenges, particularly those at the intersection of property law, technology, and data privacy. Whether in the courtroom, the boardroom, or the realm of alternative dispute resolution, I'm committed to delivering innovative, effective legal solutions for my clients and contributing to the advancement of legal practice in our rapidly changing world.
