Corporate and Commercial Law
Legal architecture for businesses that intend to last.
Overview
We act as outside counsel to companies, partnerships and investors — structuring the entity, papering the deals, and keeping the governance defensible.
Every matter in this area begins with the same discipline: establish the facts, verify the documents, identify the governing law, and give you a candid reading of your position before a naira is spent on anything further.
What we handle
- Company formation, structuring and shareholder agreements
- Drafting and review of commercial contracts
- Mergers, acquisitions, restructuring and due diligence
- Joint ventures, partnerships and investment documentation
- Company secretarial services and board governance
- Employment contracts, staff handbooks and HR policy
- Banking, finance and security documentation
- Winding up, insolvency and business exits
Working with us
What you get, and what you will not.
A scope in writing
What we will do, what it will cost and roughly how long it will take — agreed before the work starts.
Verification, not assumption
Searches are run, documents are inspected and the other side's claims are tested before we rely on any of it.
Updates you did not have to chase
You are told at every material stage. Silence from your lawyer is not a service standard we accept.
No inflated promises
We do not guarantee outcomes, and we will tell you when your position is weak or when settlement serves you better.
