Common questions
Questions clients ask about litigation & dispute resolution
How long does a court case take in Nigeria?
It depends on the court, the complexity of the matter and the parties involved. Some matters resolve through settlement; others take months or years. We give candid assessments based on the facts of each matter rather than fixed promises.
Can a dispute be resolved without going to court?
Yes. Many disputes are resolved through negotiation, mediation or arbitration. Where settlement is not achievable, the firm prepares the matter fully for litigation.
What documents should I bring to the first consultation?
Any agreement, letters, receipts, photographs, court documents or correspondence relating to the matter, together with a brief account of the sequence of events.
What happens after I engage the firm?
After conflict checks and formal acceptance, the firm reviews the facts and evidence, advises on strategy and takes the procedural steps appropriate to the matter.
These answers provide general information only and are not legal advice. Outcomes depend on the facts, evidence and applicable law of each matter.
