Legal Services Expertise

I specialize in entertainment & media, technology, property, corporate, and commercial law.

ENTERTAINMENT LAW

In the ever-evolving realm of technology law, I provide clients with strategic legal advice to help them deal with technology transactions and compliance difficulties. Working at a tech company has also allowed me to broaden my understanding of various technology transactions. Among my areas of focus are:

  • Data Privacy and Security: guided several corporations through GDPR compliance, minimizing legal risks and ensuring data protection across multiple jurisdictions.

  • Software Licensing and Development: Drafted and negotiated complex SaaS agreements for a fast-growing fintech startup, enabling scalable and secure software deployment.

  • Digital Contract: Helped brands construct multiple documents and improved regulatory compliance. I have also advised a digital platform on how to create user-friendly terms of service and privacy policies.

  • Emerging Technologies: Provided legal insights on blockchain, artificial intelligence, and smart contract implementation for a financial services firm, facilitating innovation and secure transaction methods.

My property law practice covers both residential and commercial real estate, providing clients with strong legal representation during negotiations and litigation. Having had the privilege of working with the Lagos Land Bureau (Registry), I have become acquainted with the registry's structure, which is usually beneficial while completing my task for a client. Important facets of my work include:

  • Transactions in Real Estate: Effectively assisted individuals and organisations in acquiring a highly valuable piece of commercial real estate, making sure the closing process ran smoothly and efficiently.

  • Land Use and Zoning: Provided guidance to property consultants regarding land use approvals and zoning laws to help them stay away from properties that have encumbrances that could hinder their ability to obtain required licenses.

  • Property Transaction: Ensured compliance with property legislation by supporting individuals and firms in contract negotiations and dispute resolution throughout a significant property transaction.

  • Drafting: Skilled in drafting property transaction documents, including all clauses required to prevent future loss and dispute.

Business and corporate law practice is another area of expertise for me. I have helped companies with post-incorporation issues and brand development. Through our retainer agreement, which has assisted in effective government compliance, I also gave brand strategies as it relate to their business. Key areas include:

  • Pre-Registration: assisted companies in the formation of their companies and helped in ensuring compliance with government regulations.

  • Post-Incorporation Matter: Skilled in issues pertaining to a company's restructuring to comply with legal requirements and current business growth.

  • Contract Negotiation: Skilled in drafting and reviewing, and negotiating a broad variety of business agreements.

  • Regulatory Compliance: In-depth knowledge of regulatory requirements across various industries, ensuring clients' compliance with relevant laws.

  • Corporate Governance: Expertise in advising boards and management on best practices in corporate governance and regulatory compliance.

  • Risk Management: Ability to identify, assess, and mitigate legal risks associated with business operations.

I bring extensive experience in navigating the complex legal landscape of the entertainment industry, helping clients protect their creative works, negotiate advantageous contracts, and ensure compliance with industry regulations. My expertise in entertainment law covers the following areas:

  • Contract Negotiation: Successfully negotiated recording contracts, management agreements, and distribution deals for artists, ensuring fair terms and protecting their rights and interests.

  • Copyright and Licensing: Assisted filmmakers, musicians, and content creators in securing and licensing copyrights for their works, safeguarding their intellectual property and maximizing revenue streams.

  • Talent Representation: Represented artists, actors, and athletes in various legal matters, including endorsement deals, performance agreements, and dispute resolution, ensuring their professional and personal interests are well protected.

  • Regulatory Compliance: Guided entertainment companies and professionals through the regulatory requirements of the industry, including content ratings, advertising standards, and broadcasting laws, to ensure compliance and avoid legal pitfalls.

INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY LAW

I have a track record of effectively managing and safeguarding intellectual property assets for a wide range of clients, from start-ups to large multinational organizations. I have experience in intellectual property law. Among my areas of competence are:

  • Patent Law: helped tech businesses obtain patents for innovative inventions, which enhanced their market value and gave them a competitive advantage.

  • Trademark law: successfully assisted several brands in securing their trademarks in order to maintain their market share and integrity.

  • Copyright Law: Successfully negotiated advantageous licensing contracts to enable a software development company to distribute its products. I have also helped several companies to register their copyrights.
