Careers at Manasseh Ehile & Co.
We're a small, partner‑led team that values clear thinking, plain‑English writing and getting things done on deadline. If that sounds like you, we'd like to hear from you.
A culture built around good work, done well
Deadline‑first culture
We organise work around milestones and client timelines, not just billable hours.
Plain‑English drafting
We write contracts and advice that clients can actually use, and we train associates to do the same.
Direct client exposure
Associates work closely with partners across corporate, disputes, real estate and IP/tech matters from day one.
Two Lagos offices
Based in Ikeja and Ojodu, with a mix of in‑person collaboration and flexibility.
Who we hire
We keep the team small and partner-led, so every hire matters — from graduates just starting out to experienced lawyers and the support staff who keep matters running smoothly.
Graduate & internship opportunities
We take on NYSC corps members, law students and recent graduates for internships and placements across corporate & commercial, dispute resolution, real estate, and IP/tech & compliance work. Expect real files, direct partner feedback and hands-on drafting from week one.
Experienced lawyers
For qualified associates and senior associates, we offer direct client exposure, matter ownership and a plain-English, deadline-first way of working — with room to build a practice area specialism over time.
Support & admin roles
Our front-of-house, administrative and business-support staff keep both Lagos offices running well. We look for organised, client-facing people who take pride in getting the details right.
The traits that fit our team
Clear thinking
Ability to cut to the issue that actually matters for the client.
Ownership
Following a matter through rather than waiting to be asked.
Plain writing
Advice and contracts a business owner can actually use.
Reliability
Doing what you said you'd do, on the day you said you'd do it.
Associates, NYSC & internship applications
We don't always have an advertised vacancy open, but we're happy to hear from lawyers, NYSC corps members and law students interested in corporate & commercial, dispute resolution, real estate, or IP/tech & compliance work.
