Oladayo Akinmokun

I’m an award-winning Cybersecurity & Data Privacy Lawyer. I help businesses and startups understand the legal side of tech, stay compliant, and build digital trust. My work cuts across corporate commercial law, cybersecurity, and GRC.

I’ve helped companies draft and review privacy policies, navigate NDPR and GDPR compliance, and run cybersecurity training for teams that need real-world guidance. Because I’m also an experienced courtroom lawyer, with appearances at the High Court and Court of Appeal - I bring a “litigation lens” to my advice. That means I don’t just write policies; I make sure they stand strong if tested.

Outside client work, I mentor and train students and young lawyers who want to break into Cybersecurity Law, Data Privacy, and GRC. I do this through content, speaking engagements, and one-on-one guidance.

In 2024, I was named among the Iconic Brand Africa Top 10 Exceptional Professionals in Law for my work in cybersecurity and data privacy.

Whether you’re a founder trying to protect your startup, a business leader navigating compliance, or a young lawyer breaking into tech law — my role is to make complex issues simple and actionable.
