Executive Assistant at Africa Law Practice NG & Company (ALP)

Africa Law Practice NG & Company (ALP) was established, following a merger of Nigeria-based law practices, as a full-service law firm headquartered in Lagos, with an office in Abuja, Nigeria. ALP is the result of a carefully cultivated 25 year vision, that delivers the very best of African legal and advisory services. By the end of 2019, it became necessary to make additions to the firm’s name and style, having established its brand, services, values, and grown the network of allied firms across Africa; there was a need for further distinction and so we adopted ‘NG’, an internationally known symbol for Nigeria.

We are recruiting to fill the position below:
