We maintain the highest ethical and professional standards in every matter we handle, regardless of the client or opponent.

Excellence

MOLP provides excellent cutting-edge legal services tailored to the peculiar needs of its teeming individual and corporate clients, engaging the highest professional standards.

Fearlessness

We do not shy away from powerful opponents or controversial cases. Our track record of standing against military governments, corporations and political dynasties speaks for itself.

Justice

We use law as an instrument of socio-economic and political engineering, defending the rights of vulnerable persons and communities — several of them pro bono.

Core Areas of Practice

To satisfy our highly diverse clientele, MOLP's vastly computerised multi-disciplines cover major areas of the law and sectors of the Nigerian economy. These include, but are by no means limited to, litigation and consultancy, constitutional, criminal, civil, human rights, humanitarian, maritime, aviation and corporate law practice portfolios.

MOLP is regularly engaged by various multinational and state-owned corporations, banks, insurance companies, oil and gas companies, MDAs, industries and individuals for their peculiar needs. Some of these cases are handled pro bono.

The firm has since ventured into the sui generis area of election petitions, where it has serially notched up successes and helped change the face of election jurisprudence in Nigeria through the Tribunals, Court of Appeal and Supreme Court of Nigeria.

MOLP realises that the global business world is ever dynamic and that law is forever evolving. Consequently, the firm engages in continuous research, innovations, training and retraining of its highly skilled legal and para-legal staff.
