Since joining the firm as an associate in January 2019, Akabunwa has been an indispensable member of Famsville’s Corporate Immigration, Life Sciences, Pharmaceuticals, and Regulatory Compliance Practice Groups. She has consistently provided valuable counsel to both local and international clients who trust and depend on her for complex matters.
As the firm’s first “homegrown partner”, Akabunwa embodies Famsville’s commitment to cultivating talent from within and providing opportunities for growth, and her promotion is a significant moment for the firm.
“It is with great pride that I welcome Pamilerin Akabunwa as our first organically grown partner,” said Managing Partner Dayo Adu. “Pamilerin’s journey from associate to partner is a testament to her dedication, hard work, and exceptional leadership abilities. She embodies the very best of our firm’s values, and her promotion is a major milestone not only for her but for Famsville as a whole.”
Akabunwa is currently the Diversity and Inclusion Officer of the International Bar Association’s Immigration and Nationality Law Committee, a member of the Membership Subcommittee of AILA/GMS, and the Assistant Public Secretary of the Nigeria Immigration Lawyers Association. Her professional journey reflects both her leadership qualities and the firm’s commitment to nurturing exceptional talent.
Her deep understanding of clients’ evolving needs and her strategic insight make Akabunwa ideally suited to her new role as co-head of the Corporate Immigration, Life Sciences, Pharmaceuticals, and Regulatory Compliance Practice Groups.
“Her accomplishments inspire all of us,” Adu continued, “and we take immense pride in what she has achieved. We are excited about the future under her leadership, confident that she will continue to drive innovation and excellence in the Corporate Immigration, Life Sciences, and Regulatory Compliance sectors. Pamilerin’s promotion also reinforces our dedication to building a diverse and inclusive partnership that reflects our core values and the evolving needs of our clients.”
