Temi Dosumu

With more than a decade of legal practice, Temiloluwa has advised the Presidency, the World Bank, state governments and corporate clients across the FMCG, Mining and professional services sectors. He has also worked with leading international law firms on cross-border transactions, employment matters and complex disputes involving Nigerian law, supporting coordinated legal advice across jurisdictions.

His experience spans structuring cross-border investments, advising on gas-to-power projects, managing high-stakes commercial disputes and debt recovery campaigns, handling employment matters arising from corporate transactions, and advising on significant real estate and property portfolios. He is particularly known for leading complex, multi-party matters that require sound commercial judgment, detailed knowledge of Nigerian law and the ability to work effectively within international deal and dispute frameworks.

Before founding Pearl & Pearson LP, Temiloluwa held senior legal roles at the defunct Famsville (now Moroom and Tide Legal). In these roles, he led multidisciplinary teams on transactions and legal matters involving multinational oil companies, large corporate groups and local businesses. He also contributed to the development of the technology and data privacy practice at SimmonsCoopers Partners.

In dispute resolution, he worked alongside and handled matters led by Professor Yemi Osinbajo, SAN, Dapo Akinosun, SAN, and Babatunde Irukera in significant reported cases, including BAT Tobacco, Ecobank v Vigeo Limited, Philip Biokpo v NDLEA, Coca-Cola v Akinsanya and Globe Motors v Oyewole.

He subsequently served as Corporate Counsel at Guaranty Trust Bank, where he was responsible for transactional and property portfolios valued at over ₦100 billion. This experience strengthened his understanding of the legal, commercial and risk considerations involved in major corporate transactions and significant property assets.

Temiloluwa maintains an active presence in international legal and policy forums, including the UK Ministry of Justice’s Roundtable on Africa and events organised by the International Bar Association (IBA). His engagement with these platforms reflects his interest in cross-border legal developments, international dispute resolution and the evolving legal and commercial relationships between Nigeria and global markets.

Temiloluwa is also the founder of Landsafe.ng, a property verification and due diligence platform designed to support diaspora and institutional investors making property-related decisions in Nigeria.
