The Firm
Built for the client who needs more than one thing
Most people arrive needing one service and discover they need two: a contract reviewed while a property closes, or a place to stay while a matter is heard.
We built the firm so that overlap is expected, not improvised. Every engagement is opened, scoped, and closed on a single file, whichever tab it enters through, so nothing gets re-explained to a second advisor.
- A written scope and fee schedule before any work begins
- One instructing contact across legal, property, and Shortlets
- A documented close-out and follow-up on every matter

The Procedure
How a matter moves through the file
Intake call
We listen before we scope. Legal, property, or stay, the first conversation is free and unhurried.
Scope approved
A written proposal with timeline and fees, signed off before a single hour is billed.
Matter under way
Handled end to end, with scheduled updates at every milestone, not just at the end.
Closed and filed
A documented close-out kept on record, so reopening the file later needs no re-explaining.

On The Record
What clients say
They handled our purchase and the paperwork in parallel. One team, no back and forth between separate advisors.
Adaeze O.Property investor, Lekki
Booked a shortlet for a work trip and had their legal team review a contract the same week. Genuinely seamless.
Tunde E.Business owner, Ikoyi
Clear scope, clear pricing, and they followed up after the matter closed. Rare to find in Lagos.

Notes & Clarifications
Common questions
Do I need a lawyer to buy property in Lagos?
Strongly recommended. Title verification, survey checks, and government consent carry real risk if skipped. Our legal tab handles this alongside our property tab, on the same file.
How do shortlet bookings work?
Send your dates and preferred area, and we confirm availability, pricing, and check-in directly. No third-party booking platform in between.
What should I bring to a first consultation?
Any relevant documents help, but nothing is required upfront. We tell you exactly what's needed after the intake call.
Do you offer virtual consultations?
Yes. Many clients, including those in the diaspora, work with us entirely over video calls and email.
How is pricing structured?
Every engagement opens with a written proposal outlining scope and fees before any work begins. No surprises on the closing invoice.
