Overview: 

Blackfriars LLP is a first class Nigerian law firm with special expertise in trademarks registration and patents prosecution, commercial Litigation, energy law, and capital markets transactions, respectively.

Our Nigerian lawyers deliver highest quality service to our clients. Our principal office is in Lagos. We have a representative office in Abuja and Toronto, Canada.

We have highly qualified and experienced lawyers with core expertise in different areas of commercial law. In particular, our partners and associates are renowned for their excellence in the following practice areas: Arbitration (Domestic and International) and Litigation; Capital Markets and Corporate Transaction; Energy and Mining; Financial Products and Taxation; Immigration law, Intellectual Property; Telecommunication and Information Technologies; and Admiralty/Aviation law, respectively.
