We offer free legal information services for Start-ups. It is an initiative to assist start-up businesses with the provision of adequate legal information as may be required for actualizing business goals, potentials and projections.
We engage relevant skills and tools to predict possible outcome of potential lawsuits in order to assist prospective litigants to make informed decision before instituting a court action.
We offer free Legal Clinics – Capacity Building Programme for Law Undergraduates. The Programme seeks to volunteer a yearly informative session for Law Students of various Faculties of Law in Nigeria, at different intervals.
In conjunction with relevant organisations, we provide mentorship and leadership programme for young people (including young lawyers).
