The Philadelphia Tribune Recognizes Oderah Nwaeze as a ‘2021 Most Influential African American’

Business litigation partner Oderah Nwaeze has been honored by The Philadelphia Tribune as one of the city’s “2021 Most Influential African Americans.” He was recognized as an award recipient for his leadership in the Philadelphia region.

The Philadelphia Tribune is “the nation’s oldest and greater Philadelphia’s largest newspaper serving the African-American community.”

Nwaeze is a first-chair trial attorney who helps clients resolve complex corporate and commercial disputes. His practice includes matters involving shareholder rights; actions arising under Delaware General Corporation Law and Delaware common law; lawsuits stemming from mergers, acquisitions and other corporate transactions; and breach-of-contract matters. He also counsels financial institutions in consumer-related litigation, and credits a secondment with TD Bank for deepening his understanding of the legal and business sensitivities of banking clients.

Outside of his practice, Nwaeze sits on a number of nonprofit boards, is dedicated to pro bono work, and is involved in several civic organizations and professional associations. He is on the Boards of Directors for Mother Teresa House Inc., Delaware Community Legal Aid Society, Inc., and Campus Philly, as well as the Compliance Committee of the Board of Trustees of Bancroft. Nwaeze also volunteers his time through Philadelphia Futures’ Sponsor-A-Scholar Program, including by serving as a mentor to a couple of students.
