In her previous role as Legal & Administrative Analyst at the Asset Management Corporation of Nigeria (AMCON), Omotola played a pivotal role in ensuring corporate compliance with AML, KYC, and governance policies. She supported high-stakes asset recovery initiatives, drafted legal reports, and engaged in research critical to regulatory enforcement, thereby strengthening institutional compliance and legal risk mitigation frameworks. Omotola also gained valuable experience during her externship at Detail Commercial Solicitors, where she supported client interviews, legal research, and the drafting of memos, particularly focusing on renewable energy projects and infrastructure contracts. This experience solidified her interest in energy law and environmental regulation, which remain key areas of her professional and academic focus. Beyond her technical capabilities, Omotola is recognised for her ability to communicate complex legal concepts clearly and effectively, a skill that has allowed her to liaise confidently with clients, external counsel, and cross-functional teams. Her professional memberships—such as her association with the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators (UK) and the Nigerian Bar Association—underscore her dedication to continuous professional development and legal excellence. Omotola’s profile represents the ideal synthesis of legal expertise, global awareness, and a passion for sustainable and regulatory-driven development. Whether supporting commercial litigation, managing corporate governance structures, or contributing to climate-focused legal policy, she delivers with precision, integrity, and strategic foresight.
