GOLEGAL Professional Corporation

About GOLEGAL Professional Corporation

GOLEGAL Professional Corporation is a law firm with a Canadian office in downtown Ottawa and additional offices in Lagos, Abuja, and Benin City, Nigeria. The firm was founded by Gladys Omage, a lawyer admitted to practice in both Ontario and Nigeria, and it advises on immigration and citizenship, employment law, corporate and business law, AI and technology law, diaspora real estate and medical tourism, and international affairs. Because the firm is licensed in both countries, its practice centers on matters that cross the two jurisdictions, including diaspora clients moving money, property, or family members between Canada and Nigeria.

Before founding GOLEGAL, Omage worked for about twenty years across private practice, government, and the nonprofit sector, including policy roles at the Canada Border Services Agency, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada, and Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada. Omage holds a Juris Doctor specializing in law and technology from the University of Ottawa, a Master of Arts in International Affairs from Carleton University, and both a Bachelor and a Master of Laws from the University of Benin in Nigeria. Omage belongs to the Law Society of Ontario, the Nigerian Bar Association, and the International Bar Association, and co-authored The Art and Essentials of Judgment Writing, a text used in training judges.
