We combine deep legal insight with commercial awareness to anticipate and prevent potential conflicts before they arise, offering pragmatic advice aligned with each client’s broader objectives. We are experienced in alternative dispute resolution mechanisms—negotiation, arbitration, mediation, conciliation—and have effectively represented clients before the Lagos and Abuja Multi-Door Courthouses as well as in arbitration proceedings across the country. Our foremost approach to every dispute is to explore avenues for expeditious settlement of the dispute. This informs how we advise clients to secure the most efficient means to resolve this dispute. Ultimately, we believe that dispute resolution, especially in commercial settings, should work for the interest of maintaining existing business relationships for the greater good.

Our Litigation practice provides strategic, timely, and meticulous legal representation to individuals, companies, and governments involved in complex, high-stakes disputes.
