Our Legal Practice Areas

Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR)

More often than not, disputes arise from commercial, non-commercial, contractual as well as non- contractual relationships. While litigation appears a conventional dispute resolution tool, there could be, depending on the peculiarities of each case, a more cost-effective or efficient alternative of resolving a dispute in question. At Bagudu, Uba & Associates, we explore the potentials of Alternative Dispute Resolution strategies and draw on the services of our strong litigation team only as the last resort. We counsel and represent corporate, State, State entities as well as individual clients in various forms of Alternative Dispute Resolution, including Conciliation, Mediation and Arbitration at both local and international levels.

Corporate

We counsel the management and boards of directors of our corporate clients to achieve their business objectives within the limits of the law and the framework of corporate best practices. We counsel clients on a broad range of issues, including corporate governance, internal control, conflicts of interest, business ethics, and compliance matters. We help clients balance risk management with execution. Our corporate practice group allocates a significant portion of its resources to anti-corruption and compliance issues. As the promotion of good governance at both corporate and national levels intensifies worldwide, the efficacy of local and international laws are put to test. We offer compliance and anti-corruption services such as developing ethics and compliance programs. We also provide anti-corruption training to clients, conduct internal investigations, represent clients in government investigations and providing counsel on the global trend of good governance.

Litigation

At Bagudu, Uba & Associates, our litigation expertise covers an array of areas including family law, personal injury tort, immigration, commercial disputes, civil as well as criminal defense. We provide cost- effective litigation services for clients and our litigators are equally comfortable representing plaintiffs or defendants in complex matters. Our litigation lawyers have extensive case handling experience, and can draw on broad subject matter expertise to support clients’ positions.

Personal Injury

No one prays for car accident. However, no matter how careful a driver one is, there is no guarantee that an accident would not occur because one has no control over how the other driver operates his automobile. Many issues are involved when accident occurs: property damage, body injury, and subsequent medical bills. At Bagudu, Uba & Associates, we take the burden of negotiating with the Insurance companies off our clients and our experience attorneys seek maximum compensation. While we do not guarantee the size of settlement, we assure our clients our best efforts in securing the maximum compensation they deserve.
