Our intern, Afeesat Oladimeji alongside our Managing Partner, wrote on “The Defence of Self-Defence in the Nigerian Legal System: An Iron Shield or a Woven Basket?”

Last week, our Managing Partner, Farid Giwa, was honoured by the Law Students’ Society, University of Ilorin with an Award of Service.
We are grateful for the recognition and for the opportunity to connect with and support students coming into the legal profession.
Last week, we hosted a Games Day at our Lagos office together with our colleagues from Supernal LP and @neweraattorneys .
It was a chance to step away from the day to day, unwind, have some fun, and enjoy some friendly competition with great colleagues.
At Giwa Legal, we take our work seriously, from corporate and commercial matters to dispute resolution. But we also make time to connect, laugh, and enjoy moments like these together.
Our lawyers work hard, and yes, we know how to have fun too. – at Lagos, Nigeria
