Should I litigate or try alternative dispute resolution?
It depends on the nature of the dispute, your relationship with the other party, and your objectives. We provide honest advice on the most appropriate and cost-effective approach for your situation.
How long does commercial litigation take in Nigeria?
Commercial litigation in Nigerian courts can take 2-5 years or more. We always explore faster alternatives — arbitration, mediation, or negotiated settlement — where appropriate.
