Dispute Resolution Practice

We help businesses anticipate and manage legal risks before they arise. From contractual risk reviews to operational structure assessments, we design strategies and provide advice that safeguard transactions, operations, and long-term growth. Our services include contractual risk analysis, business and operational structure reviews, and the development of frameworks that minimise risks, strengthen compliance, and enhance business resilience. Where risks do crystallise, we work with clients to mitigate their impact effectively. By partnering with our clients, we embed legal risk considerations into decision-making, enabling our clients to pursue growth with clarity and confidence.

In view of the historically slow pace of litigation, arbitration and alternative dispute resolution are the favoured means of dispute resolution in Nigeria. We have been very active in representing clients in disputes arising from various commercial transactions, including intellectual property, joint ventures and shareholder agreements, labour, employment, construction contracts, sale of goods and product liability. Our lawyers also advise on the drafting of arbitration and dispute resolution mechanisms and have often been selected to serve as mediators, as well as arbitrators in a wide variety of arbitrations under the UNCITRAL and other arbitration rules.

We are able to represent your interests at every level, from the High Court to the Supreme Court, with unmatched dedication and skill. Our team excels in handling a wide range of civil actions, from complex commercial disputes to deeply personal cases, leveraging our extensive knowledge and experience to deliver a distinct advantage for our clients.

Our goal is to resolve disputes swiftly and successfully, prioritizing your commercial objectives while minimizing legal, financial, and reputational risks. Through strategic insight, meticulous procedural tactics, and a thorough analysis of each case, we consistently achieve outcomes that align with your goals, ensuring confidence and peace of mind every step of the way.
