@0esq0 There’s a LOT to say.

Some lawyers in Abeokuta & Ibadan only employ corpers, and some law firms in Lagos rush lawyers who have served in Abk and IB because they have litigation experience and the pay will be x4/5 of their NYSC pay.

[Chief John Oladapo @0esq0]

As a Nigerian lawyer, law practice could really set you up for embarrassment you did not ask for. Everyone believes lawyers should earn well. However, in reality, the average pay of lawyers outside Lagos (I'm coming back to Lagos) is below the minimum wage in the first 5

6/ Because behind some glossy CV and LinkedIn profile is a journey of strategy & persistence, & the earlier you hear the stories, the clearer your own path becomes.

5/ Knocking down doors. Being trusted with briefs others thought I wasn’t ready for. And even rejecting offers during from firms that once ignored my applications.

Now, I remain on the path, but with more clarity. And that is why we are hosting this Career Chat.

[Ooreoluwa O. Agbede @agbedeoore_]

4/ I turned down offers that lacked a clear path and chose one firm carefully, after researching the principal partner and strategizing the benefits: Transactional work. Arbitration. Litigation. Election petitions.

From there came more planning, strategy, speed, and hard work.

[Ooreoluwa O. Agbede @agbedeoore_]

3/ constant rejections from organizations where I now return to train senior staff. No guidance, no roadmap, just me figuring it out.

After NYSC, Lagos called again. I came with experience, but no “refinement” for Lagos top practice. Big doors stayed shut, and I shut some.

[Ooreoluwa O. Agbede @agbedeoore_]

2/

It didn’t.

NYSC took control. From Adamawa camp, to Ijebu-Igbo, then Abeokuta. The top 7% pride made me reject offers in Lagos and Adamawa, but reality in Abeokuta humbled me: meagre pay,..

[That Maritime Guy @iSAN_d_law]

Every lawyer has a story to tell. Some absurdly relatable. However, we cannot deny the fact that clarity is quintessential to a successful legal career.

Thank you for sharing your story, chief.

1/ Why this Career Chat?

I thought my path would be smooth.

LL.B with a 2:1. Law School, another 2:1, in a class with fewer than 25 First Class students. I was downcast not to open the “First Class door,” but still hopeful. Surely, being in the top 7% would open doors for me.
