At Olaniwun Ajayi, we prosecute and defend litigation matters for our clients in courts and tribunals within the country. We have a solid grasp of the Nigerian judicial system, winning landmark cases as a result and are regarded as one of the top defence lawyers in the country. We work to ensure that disputes arising from the business and commercial activities of clients are resolved with minimal expenditure of time and resources by clients. We recently represented the independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and the Nigerian Army at the Lagos Governorship Election Petition Tribunal and had the case dismissed.

Our Dispute Resolution practice group has developed a reputation for its ability to actively manage technically challenging, complex and multi-faceted litigation matters on behalf of a wide spectrum of corporate clients.

Our clients find our multi-disciplinary and integrated approach to litigation to be invaluable, as it enables us to provide commercially driven, technical representation to our clients on matters across all areas of the law.
