Our Mission

At Estrada International Staffing Solutions (EISS), We are committed to delivering innovative and impactful human resource solutions that empower organizations and individuals worldwide. By combining global expertise with local insight, we ensure compliance, inclusivity, and sustainable workforce practices across diverse markets. 

Our mission is to build trust, drive growth, and shape the future of work by consistently championing excellence in Human Capital Solutions. 

Our legal function is not a "department of no"—it is a strategic partner that ensures we move fast, stay protected, and build bulletproof partnerships.

How You'll Make an Impact

We are looking for a Legal Officer who has "startup DNA." Unlike a traditional law firm, you will be embedded in the business, supporting 20+ client meetings monthly and ensuring our contract cycle time is industry-leading. You will be the guardian of our Service Level Agreements (SLAs), ensuring 100% accuracy and compliance while maintaining a lightning-fast turnaround time of less than 24 hours. If you are a collaborative, tech-savvy lawyer who loves building frameworks and navigating risk in a high-growth environment, this is your role.

What You'll Do

• Contract Management: Draft, review, and manage the lifecycle of all commercial contracts, ensuring 100% accuracy and protection.
• Corporate Governance: Act as the primary point for due diligence, risk reporting, and regulatory compliance.
• Legal Advisory: Provide real-time counsel to internal stakeholders to avoid disputes and manage litigation efficiently.
• Onboarding Support: Participate in client onboarding meetings to ensure legal alignment from the very first touchpoint.

Who We're Looking For

• Academic Qualification (Mandatory): Bachelor of Laws (LL.B) from a recognized university.
• Professional (Mandatory): Barrister-at-Law (B.L) and a member of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA).
• Experience: Minimum 2 years in a corporate startup environment. We are specifically not looking for legal consulting/law firm backgrounds—you must be comfortable being an in-house generalist.
• Speed & Precision: Ability to maintain a 24-hour TAT for document reviews without sacrificing quality.
• Tech Savvy: Expert in collaborative tools (Google Drive, CRM) for legal document management.
• Analytical Mindset: A researcher at heart who can translate complex laws into simple business SOPs.
