Background
Oluseto Franklin Oluwaseto — publicly known as Franklin Oluwaseto — is the Founder and Managing Partner of Oluwaseto F. Oluseto & Co., operating as Olawanle Chambers, a full-service law firm in Lagos leading a team of six lawyers across civil litigation, property and tenancy law, family and matrimonial law, constitutional and human rights law, contracts, and arbitration.
With over 20 years of legal experience and a teaching background in contract and commercial law, he built his public practice under the brand Franklin Oluwaseto — The People's Lawyer, dedicated to making Nigerian law accessible and workable for the ordinary Nigerian.
His work extends beyond the courtroom into governance and public affairs, and into the intersection of law with emerging technology — an interest he is now pursuing at doctoral level.
