What We Do
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.
