Maritime & Labour Law
Specialist Counsel for Shipping, Employment & Labour Matters.
Maritime and labour law in Nigeria demands sector-specific expertise. These are not areas for generalists, the regulatory frameworks are complex, the exposures significant, and the consequences of poor advice severe.
Nigeria's maritime sector is one of the most legally active in West Africa, and Nigeria's labour law framework is one of the most employee-protective on the continent. Our practice serves clients who need specialist counsel in both, from ship arrest proceedings to industrial arbitration.

Our Approach
Sector Expertise That Makes a Difference
Admiralty matters move fast and the consequences of procedural missteps are severe. Ship arrest proceedings, in particular, require counsel who can act within hours, with the forms, relationships, and legal arguments already prepared. We have that infrastructure.
In labour matters, we advise both employers and individuals, with an equal commitment to getting the law right. The National Industrial Court has evolved significantly, our practice has evolved with it.
