Our Dispute Resolution team represents businesses and individuals in court and in alternative dispute resolution.
What we do
- Commercial litigation: we act in contract disputes, debt recovery, shareholder disputes and banking claims in the State and Federal High Courts.
- Arbitration and mediation: we represent clients in arbitration and mediation, including at the Lagos Multi-Door Courthouse.
- Debt recovery: we send letters of demand and bring summary judgment and undefended list proceedings.
- Fundamental rights enforcement: we bring civil applications to enforce rights guaranteed by Chapter IV of the 1999 Constitution, including cases of unlawful detention.
We do not defend criminal charges.
Our approach
Before starting proceedings, we give each client an honest assessment of the prospects, the likely cost and the time involved. Where settlement serves the client better, we say so early.
Who leads this practice
The practice is led by Tomi Kendot, Managing Partner, with Bayo Adewale, Associate.
