From Soil to Market: Exploring the Business of a Lawyer in the Extractive Industries

In a world where the legal profession is rapidly evolving, a few leaders have demonstrated the courage and versatility to explore the spaces where law meets business, leadership, and nation building. 

Aare Olumuyiwa Akinboro, SAN has been adjuded one of such transformative figures, a lawyer whose career is a testament to the limitless possibilities of the legal mind.

Aare Akinboro’s journey has never been confined to the courtroom. As a Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Fellow of the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators (UK), Fellow of the Institute of Management Consultants, and Life Bencher, he represents a rare blend of intellect, innovation, and influence. His career, spanning decades of advocacy, arbitration, governance, and policy reform, has redefined what it means to be a lawyer in today’s complex economic ecosystem.

At the NBA-YLF Abuja Summit 2025, themed “The Business of a Lawyer: Discovering the Gems Beyond the Courtroom,” Aare Akinboro will join other distinguished thought leaders as a panelist in the session titled “From Soil to Market: The Business of a Lawyer in the Extractive Industries.”

This session dives deep into the intersection of law, natural resources, and economic transformation, exploring how lawyers can move beyond traditional advocacy to become key players in shaping and managing value chains in Nigeria’s extractive industries. From regulatory frameworks and contract negotiations to corporate governance and sustainability, the conversation will reveal the lawyer’s indispensable role in ensuring ethical, profitable, and equitable participation in this vital sector.

For Aare Akinboro, the extractive industry tells a story larger than commerce, it is about stewardship, accountability, and the duty of lawyers to safeguard both people and resources. His perspective invites young lawyers to think differently: to see opportunities not only in litigation but in consultancy, compliance, policy, and strategic advisory roles that sustain industries and nations.

His presence at this year’s Summit promises to inspire a new generation of lawyers to think globally, act ethically, and create value, sustainably proving that the law, when applied with vision, can indeed turn soil into markets and ideas into impact.
