He explained that he was given an opportunity by a lawyer called Mr Smith after applying to several firms.
He bought over the firm after 3 years
He has now bought over the firm, and the name has changed to Osuji & Smith.
Osuji said:
"I landed my one and only interview with my former Principal, Mr. Smith. One shot. I took it, and got my foot in the door, and eventually bought out the firm less than 3 years later."
New office building of Osuji and Smith
Now, he has built a new office complex. He shared photos of the new office on LinkedIn and got many people inspired.
"My previous location could no longer take on the growth, especially my need to give back and give more people an opportunity to succeed - especially folks that look like me.
"So, I built a second table, a second location: a brand new, stand alone modern building.
"Few weeks ago, my staff and I celebrated the 5th anniversary of Osuji & Smith. 5 years ago, I bought the firm with just 7 staff members. Now, we are more than 24 and growing."
Social media users congratulate Charles Osuji
