Why Are Lawyers Not Allowed To Advertise Conventionally? by Ademola47(op): 10:56pm On Feb 26, 2021
I noticed that most lawyers make advertisements indirectly. They don't use newspapers, radio, television, billboard or even Nairaland. All I see is creative stickers with inferential meaning.

Lawyers in the house, what does the Nigerian Constitution say about Making adverts?

What's the rationale behind the move?

Some professions go against it.

Registered Surveyors too do not advertise.

This is against their professional ethics. Doctors, Lawyers, Audit firm i.e chartered accountants etc don't advertise and it's against their professional ethics.

Does Google ads not count as adverts?

Because I have seen many law firms doing that.
