SYDNEY OLUADE

WHITCHURCH,BRISTOL

Summary

My name is Sydney Omofolarin Oluade. I am a trained Legal Practitioner. I attended the University of Lagos where I obtained my Bachelors in Law [LL.B] and also proceeded to the Nigerian Law School, after which I got called to the Nigerian Bar and got enrolled as a Barrister and Solicitor of the Supreme Court of Nigeria.

A meticulous, proactive and innovative individual. I possess a good background which has been a workhouse for building abilities therefore refining myself to become someone who offers premium value.

Over the past years, I have gained and gleaned veritable experiences cutting across Litigation, Real Estate, Corporate and Commercial Services, as well as Due Diligence, Legal Advisory and Compliance.

Apart from knowledge and skills in the legal sphere, I am quick at thinking and learning in other matters too. I may not be well-versed on a subject matter, but equally sharp-witted; hence if brought up to speed, within a short while, I will be able to get the job done.

While I was still a student in the University, I also worked in the Hospitality sector. I have worked in clubs, restaurants, hotels, bars, lounges and other social and night-life establishments. Thus, I have gained and gleaned veritable experience in the affairs and matters of hospitality.

Furthermore, motivation is both self and externally driven, with a thirst for improving skills, and therefore becoming an invaluable asset in any given surrounding.

In a bid to seek more knowledge and consequently improve myself, I am currently undergoing a Masters' Degree programme [LL.M] in International Law and International Relations at the University of Bristol, England.

I am confident that a relationship between any prospective employer and humble self, will be of mutual benefit.
