Personal bio
A highly accomplished Solicitor-Advocate and technology counsel with eighteen years of comprehensive legal practice spanning complex civil litigation, commercial dispute resolution, and advanced technology governance. I am triple-qualified with professional standing in three jurisdictions: as a Solicitor-Advocate (Higher Rights – Civil) in England and Wales, a Solicitor in the Republic of Ireland, and a Barrister and Solicitor of the Supreme Court of Nigeria.
With a foundational background deeply rooted in dispute resolution and litigation management, I have directed complex case strategy, client advocacy, and advanced legal drafting at the highest levels. This includes a fourteen-year tenure as Managing Partner of a full-service law firm, where I oversaw commercial advisory work, corporate governance, and end-to-end case management. My civil advocacy rights before the higher courts of England and Wales empower me to provide seamless representation in contentious matters, bridging the gap between pre-action strategic advisory and high-stakes courtroom litigation.
Complementing my dispute resolution practice is an established expertise in international technology law, data protection, and artificial intelligence regulation. As an IAPP Fellow of Information Privacy (FIP) holding comprehensive certifications (CIPP/E, CIPP/US, CIPM, and AIGP), I navigate the intricate regulatory landscapes of the UK GDPR, EU GDPR, and the European Union’s expansive digital regulation suite, including the EU AI Act, DORA, and the DMA. In my capacity as technology and data privacy counsel to a Silicon Valley AI company, and as an AI Specialist evaluating legal-domain training models, I routinely translate complex cross-border regulatory frameworks into actionable, risk-mitigated strategies for international technology contracts and SaaS deployments.
Currently, I serve as a Solicitor and the compliance officer (COLP/COFA) for an SRA-regulated practice in the United Kingdom, where I manage both contentious and non-contentious matters while maintaining strict oversight of legal-practice risk management and financial compliance. By merging traditional litigation excellence with a cutting-edge understanding of data architecture and AI governance, I offer clients a uniquely versatile and thoroughly modernized approach to navigating global commercial challenges.
