also known as Olufolajimi Abayomi Kolawole
I am a cross-functional attorney with excellent backgrounds in the 3 areas that every 21st-century business organization needs legal advice: Corporate-Business & Tax law, Intellectual Property law, and Cyber Security law.
Unlike the typical attorney with a one-dimensional practice, my diverse academic background in tax law and software engineering uniquely positions me to deliver excellent legal services to my clients. I have an LL.M in Tax degree from Georgetown University. I worked at the Internal Revenue Service as a Student Attorney while in law school. I am also a registered patent attorney with experience as a patent examiner at the United States Patent & Trademark Office. I have over 15 years of experience developing software for the United States Navy, the United States Marine Corp, Schlumberger, General Dynamics, etc. In other words, I am an attorney that understands and speaks C++, C, C#, Java, and php as well as the law.
I remain a practicing engineer; affording me the opportunity to offer excellent representation at a very reasonable cost. As the ultimate 21st-century attorney for startups and small businesses, I strive to provide my clients with excellent legal service at a cost effective price.

Attorney Jimi helped us secure our trademark approval at the Nigerian Center from the USPTO after several unsuccessful attempts on our part. I would definitely recommend his services without any hesitation.

Even though Barrister Jimi is a friend, he still conducted my case with utter professionalism, care and showed empathy to my plight as well as thoroughly addressing my concerns and inquiries. I appreciated this, as you need to be able to implicitly trust your lawyer. I will definitely recommend him,...

Jimi is an amazing and thorough lawyer who goes above and beyond in a professional capacity. I enjoyed using him, due to the fact that he is precise, explains in a clear manner, is always responsive when you need him, and then wins cases.
