Yemisi Bode-Thorpe

I am a legal professional and a seasoned administrator with over 20 years’ combined experience in legal practice and company administration, having worked in leading-edge organisations within the manufacturing industry and oil service sector (8+ years of which was a management role).

I have led and effectively managed different teams in Business Administration, Human Resource Management, Sales/Marketing, Operations as well as Project Management.

In 2017, I set up a law practice in partnership with a colleague and we have done fairly well since inception.

However, I realize my skills and efficiencies will be better employed in a broad-ranging role that offers multi-discipline work where I have the opportunity to manage challenging and competing workload demands.

I would be delighted to join an organisation that creates and adds value in the marketplace and where I have the opportunity to deploy my legal expertise as well as administrative experience.

Cognate experience in legal practice: company secretarial, legal drafting and contracts, legal advisory, property transactions management & perfection, litigation and alternative dispute resolution

General company administration: HR management, Insurance, security matters, protocol, health & safety, transport & logistics, after-sales customer care
