Representing clients when the stakes are highest. We bring strategic clarity, legal precision and decisive action to commercial disputes, regulatory proceedings and crisis situations.
We handle complex commercial disputes across sectors — advising on strategy, representing in proceedings and delivering outcomes that protect our clients' commercial positions.
We represent clients in domestic and international commercial arbitration proceedings — including matters before the Lagos Court of Arbitration, ICC, LCIA and ad hoc tribunals. We advise on arbitration strategy, document preparation, pleadings and the conduct of hearings.
We represent clients in the Nigerian court system — from the Federal High Court through to the Court of Appeal and Supreme Court. Our litigation practice covers commercial contract disputes, company law matters, banking disputes and enforcement proceedings.
We represent clients in regulatory proceedings — including investigations, enforcement actions, sanctions and appeals before regulatory tribunals and administrative bodies. We advise on regulatory risk and manage client exposure in high-stakes regulatory situations.
We advise on and conduct the enforcement of domestic judgments, foreign judgments and arbitral awards in Nigeria — including asset tracing, Mareva injunctions, garnishment orders and related proceedings. We also advise defendants on resisting enforcement.
We act quickly when clients need emergency relief — including interlocutory injunctions, freezing orders, anti-suit injunctions and urgent interim measures in arbitration. Speed and strategic precision are essential here; we are experienced in both.
We represent clients in mediation and other alternative dispute resolution processes — advising on whether ADR is appropriate, preparing clients for the process and negotiating settlements that are commercially sound and legally binding.
We advise clients before disputes crystallise — assessing contractual rights and obligations, identifying dispute risks, reviewing notice requirements and advising on steps that preserve legal positions. Early advice is almost always better and cheaper than late advice.
We advise organisations facing legal crises — including regulatory investigations, public enforcement actions, whistleblower allegations and media exposure. We work with management and boards to contain legal risk, manage public exposure and protect institutional reputation.
