DNL Partners is pleased to announce the promotion of Hameedah Oshodi to Partner. The appointment recognises her contributions to the firm and the steady growth of her practice across dispute resolution, taxation, corporate advisory and regulatory matters.
Since joining the firm, Hameedah has built a strong reputation in corporate and commercial dispute resolution, with a particular focus on litigation. She is trusted to handle contentious matters and to advise clients on legal issues arising from their commercial relationships.
Her work, however, extends well beyond the courtroom. Over the course of her career, she has developed considerable experience in tax and regulatory matters, alongside corporate, commercial and property-related work. This range allows her to serve clients in two ways: resolving disputes when they arise, and identifying legal and regulatory risks before they become problems.
Her interest in tax and regulation reflects the reality of modern practice, where taxation, compliance, transactions and disputes increasingly overlap. She has undertaken research and engaged with issues in emerging areas of law and regulation.
Hameedah holds an LL.B. and an LL.M. from Lagos State University and was called to the Nigerian Bar after completing her studies at the Nigerian Law School. She is a member of the Nigeria Institute of Management (NIM), the Nigerian Society of International Law (NSIL) and an Associate of the Institute of Chartered Mediators and Conciliators (ICMC) and the Institute of Chartered Secretary and Administrator of Nigeria (ICSAN) among other professional bodies.
Her appointment reflects both her progress within DNL Partners and the wider responsibilities she has taken on along the way. It also speaks to the firm’s approach of developing lawyers who can contribute across several areas of practice while keeping clients’ needs at the centre of their work.
As Partner, Hameedah will continue to contribute to the firm’s dispute resolution and advisory practices, and will play a larger role in shaping the growth of its tax and regulatory advisory work.
The appointment comes at a time when businesses and individuals face increasingly complex commercial, tax and regulatory obligations.
With her experience in both dispute resolution and advisory work, she is well placed to support the firm’s continued growth and the clients it serves.For DNL Partners, her promotion is both a recognition of Hameedah’s professional growth and a reaffirmation of the firm’s commitment to investing in its people.
