What does a corporate lawyer in Nigeria do?
A corporate lawyer advises businesses on company formation and structure, commercial contracts, mergers and acquisitions, joint ventures, shareholder matters and corporate governance. You are likely to need one when you set up or restructure a company, buy or sell a business, raise investment or negotiate significant commercial contracts.
How do I find a good corporate lawyer in Nigeria?
Check that they are qualified or registered to practise in Nigeria, for example with the local bar association or professional body, and that they have handled matters like yours, including any cross-border element. Ask who will do the work, which languages they work in and how they charge before you instruct them. Each corporate lawyer listed on this page has a profile with their firm, practice areas and contact details, so you can compare them before getting in touch.
How much does a corporate lawyer in Nigeria cost?
Fees depend on the firm, the experience of the person advising you and how complex the matter is. Firms commonly charge by the hour, a fixed fee for a defined piece of work, or a combination of the two. Ask for a written estimate and the terms of engagement before any work starts.
Do I need a local corporate lawyer in Nigeria if I am based abroad?
Matters governed by the law of Nigeria, or that involve its courts, registries or authorities, usually need an adviser qualified there. If you already have an adviser at home, they can often work alongside a local corporate lawyer in Nigeria, which keeps the advice joined up on cross-border matters.
Can I find an English-speaking corporate lawyer in Nigeria?
Many lawyers and advisers who work with international clients advise in English, but it is worth checking. Ask about working languages when you first get in touch, and whether documents can be provided in English as well as the local language.
