What distinguishes civil law from criminal law?

Civil law covers conflicts between individuals or organisations, where one seeks compensation or to enforce rights, including matters like contracts, property, or family issues.
Criminal law, on the other hand, concerns offences against the state, such as theft or fraud, which are prosecuted by government authorities.

How do I find or engage a lawyer?

You can locate a lawyer via the Nigerian Bar Association directory, referrals from professionals, or by reaching out to a reputable law firm. When selecting a lawyer, evaluate their experience in the relevant legal field and their professional reputation.

Bring all relevant documents related to your case, such as contracts, correspondence, identification, and any existing legal paperwork. This helps your lawyer give you well-informed and precise advice.

What is Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR)?

ADR encompasses methods like mediation, arbitration, and negotiation that enable parties to settle disputes outside of court. These processes are typically quicker, more cost-efficient, and offer greater flexibility compared to litigation
