About Seun V. Awotunde

Seun Awotunde counsels domestic and international clients on regulatory and compliance matters related to food and drug packaging, medical devices, food additives and ingredients, dietary supplements, and pharmaceuticals. She advises clients with U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) submissions, including food contact notifications (FCNs) and Drug Master Files (DMFs). She assists companies in obtaining food contact clearances for their products in Canada, Asia, South America, as well as the European Union (EU). She also has experience with premarket notifications for medical devices (510(k) notices) and investigational new drug applications (NDAs).

Seun regularly drafts legal opinions for clients evaluating packaging components, including polymers, adhesives, printing inks, and color additives used in plastic, paper and paperboard, and coatings in various global jurisdictions. She also advises clients on establishing self-determined Generally Recognized as Safe (GRAS) positions in the United States and on regulatory requirements governing the use of recycled materials in food contact applications.

Prior to joining Keller and Heckman, Seun was an associate for a law firm where she represented pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and medical device companies. Her background in science and experience working in healthcare is valuable in assisting clients with technical aspects of regulatory work and in understanding and interpreting the complex scientific matters as they relate to legal and regulatory requirements.

While in law school, Seun was an Executive Board Member for the Howard Law Journal, in addition to serving as a teaching assistant. She also completed an internship for the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, Division of Enforcement and served as a Judicial Intern for the Honorable Reggie B. Walton on the United States District Court for the District of Columbia.

Lawyers.com Client Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.

The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.

Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page

Martindale Peer Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.

The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.

What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*

• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.

• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.

• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.

Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.

Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.
