Our lawyers in Nigeria are experienced in liaising with governments, government agencies and companies fully or partly-owned by government. Using this experience, combined with a strong knowledge of administrative laws and regulations, our lawyers are able to provide accurate and effective advice.
We advise both public and private sector clients on a wide range of matters arising from the development, passage, content, interpretation and application of laws and regulations, as well as dispute resolution and investigative processes, including judicial review, public inquiries, statutory appeals and tribunal processes.
We also provide advice and representation to clients who have been summoned by judicial panels of enquiry or legislative committees. In our administrative law practice, our goal is to minimise administrative delays and avoid administrative overreach.
