Bio
Lawrence Ochulor
I have known Emmanuel for more than a decade starting from the university days. He is fondly called Citadel which we understand as ‘sit of knowledge’. Emmanuel has been able to deliberately develop himself as a power block in the area of intellectual property(IP) law. His legal training, knowledge and experience within the field are far excelling and perfectly coincide with his calm and coordinated personality. Emmanuel is a pure and cerebral breed in the area of IP law and therefore competent to deliver on any task within the field.
Fidel-Anyanna Izotene, B.L, LL.B
Ifeanyi is a remarkable IP lawyer. His appreciation of legal issues is an asset to clients and co-workers alike.
