Litigation and Alternative Dispute Resolution Mechanisms

Litigation requires not only a good knowledge of the law but also tactical, organizational and management skills.We are particularly experienced in using these additional skills in the leadership and management of terms of professional people that are necessary in every large dispute.

We offer pre-emptive advice thereby reducing and avoiding potential disputes. Where disputes arise, we counsel and use alternative resolution of disputes mechanisms such as arbitration, mediation and conciliation. For disputes that result into court actions, we prosecute and defend actions from Tribunals to High Courts, the Court of Appeal arid the Supreme Court. We rely on pre-emptive remedies such as Mareva, Anton pillar orders, Interlocutory injunctions, and interlocutory procedures such as admissions, discoveries and interrogatories.

We handle commercial disputes of national or international scope. We have foreign associates with whom we work whenever the venue of the resolution of the dispute is outside Nigeria. We also receive instructions from foreign lawyers and their clients to institute or defend cases in Nigeria One of our partners has worked with a leading firm of solicitors in the UK and with leading barristers in the UK.
