Where law
meets culture
and power.

I am an international entertainment and IP attorney based between Lagos and New York. As Associate Attorney at The Law Offices of Robert A. Celestin, I represent global artists navigating the business of music across Africa, the U.S., and beyond.

My roster includes BNXN fka Buju, Seyi Vibez, Vector, Sabri, and Shaboozey. My work spans contract negotiation, publishing strategy, catalog protection, and cross-border deal structuring. Named to Billboard's Top Music Lawyers list three consecutive years — 2023, 2024, and 2025.

My mission is simple: make sure international artists don't just go viral — they stay protected. I translate complex IP and deal structures into strategies that creatives can understand, apply, and build with.

Areas of
Practice

Precision legal strategy for the business of creativity — at every stage.

01

Music & Recording

Recording agreements, producer deals, artist management, distribution — negotiated from a position of knowledge and leverage. You don't sign what you don't understand.

Publishing & IP

Catalog protection, publishing agreements, copyright registration, sync licensing. Your compositions are your equity. I help you keep them.

03

International Deals

Cross-border transactions between Africa and the US market. I understand both landscapes — the relationships, the leverage points, and the traps.

04

Trademark & Brand

Artist name protection, brand identity, trademark registration across jurisdictions. Your name is your brand. Protect it before someone else does.

05

Business Formation

Entity structuring, operating agreements, creative entrepreneur counsel. The legal infrastructure that turns talent into a sustainable business.

06

Contract Review

Complex agreements decoded into plain language with clear recommendations. You'll never sign blind with me in your corner.
