LITIGATION

“Litigation is the pursuit of practical ends not a game of chess.”
~Felix Frankfurter

CHANIEL is the hub of first-rate litigation lawyers who have notable footprints in the strata of courts in the Nigerian legal system.

Our team has successfully handled the prosecution and defence of several complex litigation in which landmark decisions were made by the courts.

The broad spectrum of our civil litigation covers Aviation, Banking, Energy, Labour, Maritime, Oil and Gas, Real Estate and Technology.

Our team offers legal representation to individuals and corporate bodies charged with criminal offences by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) and the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA).

In quite a number of criminal proceedings we secured the discharge of our clients by a No Case Submission. To us, no case is hopeless or simple. Every case matters and each one is pursued with utmost devotion.

Our pragmatic approach to litigation is governed by the principle of “begin with the end in mind”. We start off an in-depth analysis of the factual setting of the case and present to the client a frank assessment of the case and devise the appropriate strategy to achieve the most beneficial result for the client.

We keep our eyes on the ball and follow through till the expected outcome is achieved.

ARBITRATION

“When two great powers  disagree about anything… they must find a way to  settle it somehow by arbitration or by negotiation.”~Bertrand Russell

Arbitration is usually the preferred option for the resolution of commercial disputes due to its rating for efficiency.

The team of ADR specialists in our firm has tremendous skills and considerable experience in Arbitration. Members of the ADR team have acted as Party-appointed Arbitrators or represented clients in arbitral proceedings before ad-hoc arbitral tribunals and those administered by arbitral institutions.
