Three areas carry most of the firm's work. They are not run as separate departments: a commercial agreement that fails becomes litigation, and an election petition is litigation conducted against a statutory clock.
Matters the firm handles outside the three principal areas. Where one of these develops into proceedings, it is conducted by the same litigation practice.
Where a client operates in a regulated sector, the sector's own rules often decide the question before the general law is reached.
Licence conditions, infrastructure and interconnect agreements, consumer protection claims, and dealings with the sector regulator. Obligations attaching to a licence commonly override what the parties would otherwise have agreed between themselves.
Loan documentation, the creation and perfection of security, and recovery proceedings. Central Bank of Nigeria guidelines and the requirements for registering a charge determine whether security is worth what a lender believes it to be.
Distributorship and supply agreements, factory and standards regulation, labour relations across a large workforce, and product liability defence.
Closely held companies where ownership, management and family are the same people. Disputes tend to arrive as a company law question and a succession question at once, and both have to be answered together.
Describe the matter and we will route it. If a limitation period or a statutory filing window applies, say so at the outset.
