Before joining the Bar, Oluwapelumi was a solicitor since 2009 and went on to qualify as a Higher Rights solicitor-advocate in 2014. Her extensive private family practice focused on relationship breakdowns and financial remedy proceedings, where she conducted the majority of her own advocacy. She spent the latter five years as a Family Law Partner at a local law firm.
Since joining Chambers, Oluwapelumi has dealt with a broad range of financial remedy cases, from those involving modest assets to high-value and complex disputes. She is instructed in matters requiring detailed financial analysis, expert valuation evidence, and consideration of non-matrimonial property and contributions. Her busy financial remedy practice often includes cases with third-party interests, such as disputes involving assets held by or linked to family members.
Recognised for her strategic and pragmatic approach, Oluwapelumi combines a measured yet firm advocacy style with a focus on achieving constructive and cost-effective outcomes. Her solution-focused mindset makes her a valued representative for clients in both negotiations and contested hearings. Drawing on her background as a former practising solicitor, Oluwapelumi brings a strong understanding of her clients' priorities and pragmatic case management, whilst at the same time ensuring they receive clear, practical advice at every stage.
Oluwapelumi's tenancy marks the first time since Trinity's foundation in 1954, that Chambers has had 100 current full members.
Commenting on becoming Chambers' 100th tenant, Oluwapelumi said:
"I am absolutely delighted to become a member of Chambers, and to be the 100th member is an unexpected bonus! It is a proud milestone and an exciting beginning for me. It is also a real privilege to take this next step in my career and to do so alongside such talented colleagues."
