“My course at the University of Dundee made me much better at critical legal thinking, legal writing and - of course - legal English. All of these skills were invaluable for my further career. I have specialised in oil and gas law, and have worked both in-house and for several of the biggest commercial law firms in Norway. In 2019 I joined my current firm, Wikborg Rein, as a partner. Wikborg Rein is one of four traditional tier one firms in Norway, and the most international Norwegian law firm with offices in Oslo, Bergen, London, Singapore and Shanghai.”

“After graduation I returned to the law firm where I worked and became partner. I joined the public sector in 2015 as Senior Legal Adviser to Nigeria Sovereign Investment Authority (NSIA), managers of Nigeria's sovereign wealth fund. I have been involved in entire gamut of NSIA's operations, from investments to regulatory compliance to stakeholder engagement. This has given me the opportunity to participate in the structuring, documentation and implementation of some of the most important infrastructure projects being undertaken across diverse sectors in Nigeria in the last six years.”
