Protecting wealth. Preserving legacies. We provide discreet, expert counsel to high-net-worth individuals, families and business owners on the structuring, protection and intergenerational transfer of wealth.
We advise clients on all aspects of personal wealth planning and family structuring — from estate documentation to complex multi-generational trust arrangements.
We advise clients on comprehensive estate planning — including will drafting, appointment of executors and administrators, asset scheduling and ensuring estate plans are legally sound, aligned with the client's testamentary wishes and structured to minimise delay and dispute.
We advise individuals and families on succession planning — including identifying and implementing business succession structures, preparing next-generation family members for ownership responsibilities and managing the transition of control in a way that preserves family harmony.
We advise on the establishment and administration of trusts — including charitable trusts, discretionary family trusts, purpose trusts and business holding trusts. We structure trust arrangements to meet the client's long-term objectives and comply with Nigerian law.
We advise clients on legally sound strategies for protecting personal and family assets from business risk, creditor claims and other threats — including structuring asset-holding vehicles, security arrangements and family governance documents.
We advise business-owning families on family governance — including developing family constitutions, family councils and family office structures that set clear rules for family business involvement, wealth management and dispute resolution within the family.
We advise families on the legal mechanisms for transferring wealth across generations — including gifting strategies, family investment entities, shareholder arrangements and arrangements that respect family obligations under Nigerian customary law where applicable.
We advise clients with assets or family members in multiple jurisdictions on cross-border estate planning — including co-ordinating Nigerian legal arrangements with overseas structures and advising on the interaction between Nigerian law and foreign legal systems.
We advise clients who wish to formalise their charitable giving through legal structures — including the establishment of foundations, charitable trusts and endowments, and advising on the regulatory framework applicable to non-profit and philanthropic organisations in Nigeria.
