A Senior Partner at F. A. Garrick & Co., Garrick leads practice areas spanning Intellectual Property, Technology, and Media & Entertainment, as well as International Trade and Investment.
With over 14 years of experience, he is a go-to advisor for start-ups and established corporates, navigating complex IP and commercial landscapes with confidence.
Garrick’s legal excellence has earned him global recognition: he was named Intellectual Property Expert of the Year in Nigeria by Leaders in Law (2021) and Trademark Advisory Expert of the Year by Corporate INTL Magazine / Global Advisory Experts.
