Our team has, in appropriate circumstances, assisted recipients of foreign judgments and awards in giving effect to the judgments and awards in our jurisdiction. Foreign judgments are enforced in Nigeria by virtue of the Foreign Judgments (Reciprocal Enforcement) Act 2004. However, there are local peculiarities that militate against the enforcement of judgments from some jurisdictions, particularly those outside of the Commonwealth and the United States. Our long pedigree in this area enables us to spot and proactively manage such complexities, ensuring that our clients’ interests are safeguarded.

In addition to our enforcement services, we provide comprehensive legal analysis to clients seeking to navigate the intricacies of international law and cross-border transactions. Our experienced team is adept at identifying potential obstacles and developing tailored strategies to address them effectively. By leveraging our extensive network and knowledge of local legal practices, we empower clients to pursue their claims with confidence, maximizing the chances of successful enforcement of foreign judgments in Nigeria.
