Apex Chambers contact numbers and emails are on our website, our Google page and social media platforms, so it was not unusual.
The caller mentioned that he had been following our legal insights online and wants Apex Chambers to handle the due diligence (investigation) and property documentation for a major land/building acquisition project.
As usual, we asked him to book a paid legal consultation session. This ensures that the client’s matter is officially scheduled and assigned to our legal team.
He agreed to make the payment but added that he wanted to physically visit our office first to meet us in person before proceeding with the payment.
We warmly welcomed his request to visit Apex Chambers law office in Port Harcourt.
A few minutes later, he called again to apologize. He said he was simply being cautious with financial dealings in Nigeria.
We smiled. We completely understood.
Doing business in Nigeria is indeed a peculiar art.
Clients want to see you.
They want to feel assured.
They want to confirm that you truly exist before trusting you with their money or their property.
At Apex Chambers, we get it. We welcome it because trust and transparency are at the heart of every transaction/matter we handle for land, buildings or business deals in Nigeria or abroad.
