Practice Philosophy
Synergy attornies Practice Philosophy
Our team and group strength are the uniqueness of our existence which underline our practice. With our in-house expertise and skill set, we are ever so committed to impact on our clients the advantages of deep end skills and diligence fired by integrity and deriving from concentrating in a functional and value adding law practice.
We leverage on our problem-solving skills on the strength of an integrated delivery of expert professional legal services by creating a platform for brief, specific and multi-firm collaboration amongst different law experts in the execution of complex briefs.
This approach contrasts with the traditional style of universal legal practice that previously held sway among Nigerian law firms. The essence of our approach being to migrate away from the downside of our legal/justice system that is proverbially slow and inefficient for serious business.
A legal practice which is structured to minimize on these limitations is what quality and value-driven clients of today desire and deserve.
We are thus in the bracket of the information age defined law firms in Nigeria that benchmark the quality of their service delivery against international standards, and that exceeds clients expectations.
Case Law as reported in various Law Reports in Nigeria reflect the depth and breadth of the contributions made by the firm in the development of jurisprudence in different areas of law.
We are actively involved in impactful legislative advocacy by promoting legislations that have constructive public relevance. In this connection, the firm was consulted by the 8th National Assembly in providing legal advisory to the enactment of the Secured Transaction in Movable Asset Act (STIMA) of 2017 (Reflected in the Senate Committee on Banking, Insurance and Other Financial Institutions Report of May 2017).
Furthermore, Synergy Attornies has gained prominence in the adjudication of electoral disputes and has acted in capacities for the petitioners or respondents in many of the key election petitions arising from Nigeria’s quadrennial and off-season elections.
Conscious of the role of law as a tool for social engineering, the firm has invested in numerous pro-bono litigations on behalf of indigent clients and commits to this value as part of its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR).
We have a very tall vision of establishing presence in each of the 36 States and the Federal Capital Territory that comprise of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, as well as the West African region.
Synergy Attornies moved to its present purpose-built office at the Juweirat, No. 12, Wede Obahor Street, Atlantic View Estate, Off Alpha Beach Road, Igbo-Efon, Lekki – Lagos in January 2016. The edifice overlooks the Atlantic Ocean and is equipped with state-of-the-art facilities to meet the need of a growing clientele.
