Alex Okafor

Alex Okafor is a Nigerian corporate and commercial lawyer (called to the Nigerian Bar in 2016) with solid expertise in advising both local and international clients on a wide range of business, regulatory, and transactional matters in Nigeria.
Key highlights of his practice:
• Strong focus on corporate and commercial law
• Advises on company formation, market entry, expansion, restructuring, and complex transactions, and ongoing operational matters
• Renowned for commercially practical, precise, and business-oriented legal advice
• Highly analytical, detail-oriented, and skilled at breaking down complex legal concepts for clients
Core areas of competence include:
• Drafting, reviewing, and negotiating high-value commercial contracts (shareholder agreements, joint ventures, service/supply/distribution agreements, NDAs, MOUs, tech contracts, etc.)
• Corporate secretarial services and dealings with the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) – company incorporation, post-incorporation filings, annual returns, changes in directorship/shareholding, etc.
He appears to be the kind of lawyer businesses (especially startups, SMEs, and foreign investors entering or expanding in Nigeria) typically rely on for pragmatic, deal-enabling legal support rather than overly academic or adversarial advice.
