Great customer management abilities. Very strong in M&A and private equity. Good team leader. She is a brilliant lawyer. I will like her to increase her visibility in the industry as I don’t believe the industry knows how good she is yet. She is beginning to do a lot more of that recently through the initiatives she has lead for the Nigerian Bar Association.” – IFLR”
She is very knowledgeable in the law and its applications. Whenever I have asked questions regarding certain local laws and how it may affect our assets, she either has the answers available or she immediately has a comprehensive answer prepared. However, I am most impressed by her client management abilities. She understands the needs of her clients and she often goes out of her way to accommodate the needs of her clients. Finally, when I have had a criticism of any legal work and brought my concerns to her, she has been easy to speak with. She listens, she takes in the criticism in good spirits and promises to make the changes. And more importantly, the changes were made.” – IFLR2020,2021
