She co-heads the firm’s, Aviation, Employment Law, which includes the firm’s business establishment and corporate immigration practice and Corporate Advisory teams. She also oversees Alsec Nominees Limited, the firm’s company secretarial practice, which has over 300 companies in its portfolio. Her specialisations include TMT, data protection and cybersecurity, foreign investment, regulatory compliance, aviation, employment law, mergers and acquisitions and general corporate advisory.

Jumoke has over three decades of experience in telecommunications law, data protection, cybersecurity, aviation, employment law, immigration law and general corporate practice with an emphasis on corporate advisory, legislative drafting, mergers and acquisitions, foreign investment, corporate restructuring, regulatory compliance, due diligence and capital markets.

She was a member of the consortium of international experts whose services were retained by the Federal Government of Nigeria, through the Bureau of Public Enterprises (“BPE”), to exhaustively review and modify Nigeria’s legal/regulatory framework for its Telecommunications sector. The team later went on to draft the comprehensive legislation for the sector, the Nigerian Communications Act 2003. She has assisted many companies in her various areas of expertise about establishing and doing business in Nigeria. She also advises a variety of investors with the acquisitions of interests in Nigerian companies and regulatory compliance. In addition, she has assisted clients with generating employment and end of-employment documentation, negotiation and settling of employment-related contractual and trade disputes and advising on employee issues in the context of bankruptcies, company liquidations, mergers, acquisitions, divestments and restructuring. She heads the data protection practice group which is a subset of the TMT practice group and advises widely on data protection issues. She is noted for her data protection expertise. The firm is a licensed Data Protection Compliance Organisation with the National Information Technology Development Agency (NITDA) and as a result Jumoke assists many clients with their data protection compliance under the Nigerian Data Protection Regulation 2019.
Jumoke was seconded to both Emerging Markets Telecommunication Services Limited – Etisalat Nigeria (now 9 Mobile) (2009-2010), and Union Bank of Nigeria (2014-2017) to head their legal departments and to restructure the departments by introducing processes and structures to improve their efficiency and optimise output. These secondments also broadened her own experience in the legal sphere through the exposure to in-house legal work.


Jumoke has also assisted the telecommunications sector regulator, the Nigerian Communications Commission (“NCC”) and the NITDA, in their drive to develop awareness with their various stakeholders within and outside Nigeria. In this regard she has been a member of the NCC’s faculty at a training of judges on cybersecurity. She has assisted the NITDA by reviewing policy document and providing input into proposed draft legislation.
