Litigation & Arbitration Law Services
The successful resolution of disputes depends upon the clear identification of client's objectives and upon striking a balance between the purposeful conduct of litigation and careful and sensitive negotiation. The firm is continuously engaged in commercial dispute negotiation on behalf of its clients. Its approach towards every dispute is practical and result- oriented. When circumstances dictate, our litigation department acts forcefully and effectively in protecting our clients' rights by pursuing every available legal remedy. We recognise however, the value of a well-timed settlement and endeavour to resolve disputes in the best interest of our clients.
Most of the firm's litigation practice arises from a general representation of its corporate and manufacturing clients, in particular with contractual disputes arising from agency relationships, the supply of goods and services, property related matters (including construction and building contract disputes) employment disputes and infringement of intellectual property rights. The firm represents its clients in commercial arbitrations within and outside Nigeria. With the assistance of its experienced correspondents, the firm is able to bring cases before courts and arbitration tribunals all over the world and with the benefit of a Port Harcourt office, the firm is able to provide on the ground advice and representation to clients situate in the Niger Delta area and its environs.
