Odujinrin & Adefulu Wins Multiple Honours at Leading Legal Awards

2025 has been a remarkable year for Odujinrin & Adefulu, marked by honours across some of the most credible platforms in the global and African legal industry. 

At the IFLR Africa Awards (March 2025)—a benchmark for excellence in corporate and financial law worldwide—we were recognised for outstanding performance in corporate and finance transactions, winning the Impact Deal of the Year. 

At the African Legal Awards (September 2025), hosted by Law.com International in partnership with the Corporate Counsel Association of South Africa (CCASA), we achieved the highest number of awards of any African firm, winning: 

• Banking & Finance Team of the Year (Medium-Sized Firm) 

• Capital Markets Team of the Year 

• Partner of the Year (West Africa) – awarded to our Managing Partner, Adeoye Adefulu 

The African Legal Awards are regarded as the continent’s premier stage for celebrating legal excellence, spotlighting the teams and individuals whose work is shaping industries and driving progress across Africa. To emerge as the most recognised firm this year underscores the depth of our expertise, the strength of our people, and the trust of our clients. 

We were also proud to be shortlisted in multiple categories at the ESQ Nigerian Legal Awards (September 2025), further reflecting the consistency and impact of our work. 

“These recognitions are not about trophies, but about trust. They reflect the confidence our clients place in us and the dedication of our team. Each award is a reminder of our responsibility to raise standards, deliver value, and to keep doing it…better.” – Adeoye Adefulu, Managing Partner 

We are grateful to our clients for entrusting us with their most important work, and to our team for embodying our commitment to always “Do it…Better”. 

As we look ahead, Odujinrin & Adefulu remains committed to shaping solutions, building strong markets, and contributing to sustainable growth in Nigeria and across Africa.
