Inspiring Female Lawyer Starts Small, Opens Her Law Firm With Her ‘Little’ Savings, Says She Sees Herself Going far

Cursory: An inspiring female lawyer has taken to Twitter to celebrate her new firm which he set up with her savings in Lagos, Nigeria. Despite not having it all figured out, the lawyer is aiming for the best and sees herself going far.

In a bid to get something done that will make her a present be there for her kids and husband, an immigration lawyer identified as Uthman Hauwa Ibraheem has established her law firm in Lagos. The excited lady shared pictures of her humble office on Twitter as she hoped for the best in her endeavor.

To achieve her aim, she got a place close to her home. Hauwa gave her office location as Abule-Egba, Lagos, which is on the mainland. Hauwa used her savings in setting up her new office.

In an interview, the Ahamdu Bello University graduate said that she was previously working at a law firm at Eubena Amedu &Co, VGC Lekki-Ekpe Express Way but relocated to the mainland after she got married.

According to her commuting to and fro Lagos was very stressful. Hauwa saved up money and got a shop which she converted into an office.

“So I decided to save up money and I looked for a place very close to my home, where I can quickly go in the morning and come back early enough to make dinner without going through so much stress.

“The place I got was a shop but I converted it to an office with adequate adjustment. There’s still more work to be done, but at least I did something to the place and start somewhere anyhow.” She said she spent about N300k on renting and renovating the office.

When asked why she started small, Hauwa explained that people usually have humble beginnings. She believes it is just the starting point for her as she set her sights on going far in the immigration service.

In her words: “I started small because I know there are humble beginnings and I know with grit, determination and God, I will go far in this Immigration Service.”

Hauwa also shared why she decided to specialise in immigration services.

In her words:

“The major reason I started Immigration Service -Based law firm is because law practice is rigorous, especially for a woman. Litigation is a very stressful aspect of law practice. A woman that is married and has children will not find it easy practicing law, going to court before 8am and leaving later in the day and a whole lot of other issues associated with that.

“I figured out a way I could practice law by focusing on an aspect of law practice that doesn’t require much court presence. So I choose Immigration law. I don’t really need to go to court premises unless I need a document that can only be obtained in court.”

When asked about the services her firm renders, she responded:

“I help people to search and apply for school, secure admissions, apply for study permits and study visas. I help process permanent residency to Canada from Nigeria USA UK or from any African country.”

“I take other legal briefs too, and I am open to companies looking to process documents for their expatriate employees and employers. Including organizations looking to book travel visas and many other services they may require about immigration,” she added.
