WHAT DO YOU NEED A LAWYER FOR IN YOUR BUSINESS OR ORGANIZATION?
Everyday someone loses money, assets or credibility because he trusted a verbal agreement, copied another person’s documents or ignored legal advice. It is painful and completely avoidable.
Many people believe hiring a Lawyer for business set-up, partnerships, church or NGO registration is a waste of money.
Dey play, just dey play!
That is a dangerous lie.
The truth is a reliable Business Lawyer is your best man in Nigeria’s unpredictable business environment full of dishonest partners, vague MOUs, non-compliant structures, fake contracts and silent legal traps.
A consultant may design your business plan, but only a Business Lawyer can:
✓ Properly structure your business or NGO under the law
✓ Draft valid partnership or shareholder agreement
✓ Ensure regulatory compliance (CAC, FIRS, SCUML, etc)
✓ Prepare contracts that fully protect your interests
✓ Prevent disputes that can sink your business or reputation
It is not enough to register a business and open shop. If your structure is faulty or your contracts are weak, you may lose everything when issues arise.
You say Lawyers are expensive? Wait until disaster strikes.
What is truly expensive is litigation, business collapse or your office being sealed.
Running a business in Nigeria without legal backing is like driving a car with no brakes. Smooth until you hit a sharp bend.
So Lawyer up.
