Re: Which Are The Top 10 Law Firms In Nigeria? by baldman: 5:44pm On May 08, 2012
Olisa Agbakoba is a big shot in the legal profession but the firm is not. It is, at best, a mid-tier firm.

I recently read something about International law firms going into Nigeria. I'm talking Magic Circle, that's the DLA Pipers and the Slaughter & Mays.
They killed South Africa a decade ago, so this list will probably not be the same in about half a decade.

people just keep naming the firms cos they read about them in pages of newspapers and they would look like they do have commercial success. But have you taken time out to study how these things work... Some law ferms shy away from the spotlight and are really doing better than all the names people keep calling here.. tried to research some firms and wes really suprised that some have worn more cases @ the supreme court than even Falana and all the names been mentioned here. Some even reject the chance to apply for the revered SAN title cos they do believe that it has been politicised... So for you to really know, i think that you shoukd not go to the pages of newespapers to get the good firms and you couldd aslo include some firms outside lagos in your search for good firms....
