Sandra Orokodo

Called to the Nigerian Bar in 2017, Sandra Orokodo offers over six years of focused expertise in corporate law and regulatory compliance. Specializing in serving startups, SMEs, corporate intermediaries, and individual clients, she combines in-depth knowledge of Nigerian and UK corporate regimes with a client-centered approach grounded in trust and professionalism.

With an LLM in Data Protection and Intellectual Property from the University of Law, United Kingdom, she expertly guides clients through complex regulatory frameworks including CAC registration, NSCDC regulations, NSITF compliance, data protection policies (NDPR), tax matters with FIRS, NUPRC (DPR) permits, and anti-money laundering protocols under SCUML.

Her commitment is to deliver practical, compliant, and strategic legal solutions that empower businesses to grow securely and sustainably.

Business entity registration with CAC and UK Companies House

Company formation with the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) in Nigeria or Companies House in the UK. We advise you on the right structure (business name, limited liability company, public company, or incorporated trustees) and handle the filings.

Incorporated Trustees Registration for NGOs and non-profits

Non-profits and NGOs in Nigeria must register with the Corporate Affairs Commission as Incorporated Trustees. We guide you through the process—from drafting your constitution to filing trustee details—so your organisation is legally recognised, compliant, and able to pursue its mission with confidence.

Intellectual Property Protection (IPO Nigeria & UK)

Protecting your ideas and creations through trademarks and IP registrations in Nigeria and the UK. We also draft the agreements that protect ownership and use.

Legal Drafting

We prepare contracts, agreements, policies, and other legal instruments tailored to your needs. Every draft is written to protect your interests, reduce risk, and hold up under scrutiny.

Data Protection and Privacy Compliance (including GDPR and Nigeria Data Protection Regulation (NDPR))

We guide companies through Nigeria’s NDPR and Europe’s GDPR. That means compliance audits, drafting data protection policies, staff training, breach response planning, and advisory support for Data Protection Officers.

Corporate Governance and Compliance

Helping boards and management meet their legal duties. We draft resolutions, manage filings, prepare shareholder agreements, and file annual returns to keep your company in good standing.

Regulatory Advisory Services

We handle tax registrations with FIRS, SCUML anti–money laundering protocols, CBN licensing for financial institutions, and industry-specific approvals in sectors like energy, communications, and insurance.
