Our Disputes team emphasizes the firm’s commitment to its clients by responding firmly with formidable and resourceful litigation capabilities, when clients become involved in disputes that cannot be settled by and amongst the parties themselves.
With the advantage of senior counsel, the firm handles a range of corporate and commercial litigation disputes in Nigeria, contract claims of varied complexity; Admiralty and Shipping matters, Insolvency and Tax appeals; Intellectual Property actions and Environmental defences involving multi-party representative actions, amongst others, before the Federal and State High Courts, the Court of Appeal, and the Supreme Court of Nigeria.
Our litigation practice draws on its intimate knowledge of our clients’ businesses and our ability to respond creatively to and efficiently resolve their problems.
