Oluwabori Olisa

Called to the Nigerian Bar (B.L., 2025), I am a lawyer with practical experience spanning litigation, property, corporate, and commercial legal practice. As an Associate at Gbaja & Partners, I have developed hands-on experience in corporate/commercial advisory, property transactions, civil litigation, and regulatory compliance. Combined with over 6 years of professional content writing experience for international clients, I offer strong research, drafting, communication, and analytical skills.

I am eager to leverage this blend of legal and professional experience to support business objectives in a corporate/commercial or in-house legal role.
