A BUSINESS APPROACH
TO LEGAL SERVICE

We act for local and multinational clients across every sector of the Nigerian economy, and we are prepared to test existing thinking where the law allows it.

COMMERCIALLY ASTUTE, TECHNICALLY EXCELLENT

Aarndale Solicitors is a full-service commercial law firm with offices in Lagos, Abuja, Port Harcourt and Ibadan. We advise Nigerian businesses and international investors across dispute resolution, corporate and commercial, banking and finance, real estate, data protection and technology.

Our approach is commercial: we frame legal advice around our clients' business objectives and deliver it on time.

OUR COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE

Commercial Focus

We understand that legal advice must serve business objectives. Every instruction is handled with a clear awareness of our clients' commercial goals and risk appetite.

Regulatory Intelligence

We maintain constant engagement with regulators, enabling us to offer timely, informed and commercially relevant advice as the Nigerian regulatory environment evolves.

Multi-Sector Reach

From FinTech and financial services to media, oil & gas and real estate, our lawyers advise from sector knowledge rather than general principle.

Dispute Resolution Strength

Our dispute resolution team is among the most experienced in Nigeria, with a strong track record before superior courts, arbitration tribunals and ADR fora across the country.

Transactional Depth

We have completed numerous high-value, complex transactions for domestic and international clients, including multi-billion naira financings, cross-border M&A and FDI advisory mandates.
