In a stirring goodwill message delivered today, July 15, 2025, Aare Olumuyiwa Akinboro, SAN, Life Bencher and one of Nigeria’s most forward-thinking legal minds, has charged lawyers to rise to the demands of the future with courage, creativity, and an uncompromising commitment to ethical excellence.
Addressing participants of the 2025 Business Law Conference holding today under the bold theme:
“The Future Lawyer: Creative Problem Solver, Strong Work Ethics, Innovative and Tech Enthusiast,”
Akinboro described the gathering as a defining moment for the Nigerian legal profession.
“This theme is not just timely — it is transformative. It tells us the future is already knocking, and it is no longer interested in lawyers who only recite the law. It seeks lawyers who think, solve, build, and lead.”
He urged all attendees to fully immerse themselves in the moment and seize the platform to recalibrate their professional outlook in an era where law intersects with technology, innovation, and dynamic business needs.
“The future belongs to the lawyer who can reimagine the brief, harness digital tools, and serve solutions wrapped in integrity. Clients are evolving — and so must we.”
Recognizing the immense value of the conference, Akinboro commended the organizers for daring to spotlight the skills and mindset that will define legal excellence in the decades to come.
“Strong work ethic is no longer optional. Innovation is no longer a buzzword. Tech enthusiasm is no longer a niche — it is the baseline.”
He challenged lawyers, particularly young professionals, to lean into the disruption and see it not as a threat but as a gateway to relevance.
“Let your curiosity be louder than your caution. Let your values anchor your ventures. In this fast-paced world, the lawyer who dares to innovate without losing their ethical compass will always stand out — and stand tall.”
As the conference unfolds, Akinboro’s message resonates as a call to vision, action, and professional renewal.
“May this day spark new alliances, awaken fresh thinking, and shape the kind of lawyers the world not only needs — but will remember.”
