Emerging legal talent and community advocate Oluwatobi Oso shares her journey into law — grounded in intention, resilience, and quiet discipline. A must-listen episode of The Lawyer Files. — 🎙️ In this episode of The Lawyer Files, I sit down with Oluwatobi Oso — a Paralegal at DWF, LLM and LPC graduate with distinction, and a thoughtful voice on growth, volunteering, and navigating the early stages of a legal career with purpose.
From discovering law through a high school career quiz to excelling in both litigation and academic study, Tobi’s story is one of quiet strength, intentional choices, and learning through experience.
We talk about:
✅ How a school quiz led her to law — and the early work experiences that confirmed her calling
✅ Developing core skills in litigation: time management, prioritisation, and attention to detail
✅ The importance of learning from mistakes — and building confidence through reflection
✅ Earning distinctions in the LLM and LPC while working part-time
✅ Why career advice matters (and what she wishes she’d known earlier)
✅ The personal and professional value of volunteering and giving back
Whether you’re starting out in the legal field, studying while working, or finding your voice in the profession — Tobi’s journey is a reminder that success is shaped by preparation, humility, and purpose.
