BABATOPE IBITOLA was called to the Nigerian Bar in 1991at the Nigerian Law School, Victoria Island, Lagos State. Right from the outset, his chosen career path has, decidedly, been litigation which has seen him traversing a whole gamut of judicial fora: from the Magistrates' Court to the High Courts, Federal and States, through judicial tribunals like the Failed Banks Tribunal, to the Appellate Courts.
As a young practitioner, he was blessed to have undergone quality tutelage under a number of the legal profession's leading lights like late Chief Debo Akande (SAN), late Chief Gani Fawehinmi (SAN), Chief C.N.Z. Azike and Mr. Kehinde Aina, who propagated and popularized the concept and practice of Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) in Nigeria's legal practice.
He took a short brake from active advocacy/litigation in 1999, and had a stint at the NNPC, Ikoyi Lagos Office in year 2000, as a legal officer, and shortly afterwards resumed active litigation in 2001. His major areas of practice are commercial litigation involving banking, insurance and property laws, human rights advocacy, and a limited involvement in defence of criminal prosecution.
