Scope and definitions that remove ambiguous interpretations

Clarifications & Disclaimers

What types of agreements does this service cover?

Our civil law consultancy focuses on personal contracts — agreements, leases, and consumer transactions governed by the Nigerian Law of Contract. We do not handle corporate mergers, intellectual property licensing, or employment contracts outside of individual consultancy terms.

Is a verbal agreement legally binding in Nigeria?

Under the Nigerian Law of Contract, a verbal agreement can be binding if it contains all essential elements — offer, acceptance, consideration, and intention to create legal relations. However, we strongly recommend written documentation for enforceability. Our reviews always flag verbal-only terms as high-risk.

What is not included in a standard contract review?

A standard review identifies ambiguous clauses, missing terms, and potential breaches of the Nigerian Law of Contract. It does not include litigation strategy, court representation, or negotiation with third parties. For those services, we refer you to a barrister with active practice rights.

How do you handle conflicts of interest?

Before accepting any engagement, we screen for conflicts between parties. If a conflict is identified — for example, reviewing a lease for both landlord and tenant — we decline one side and recommend independent counsel. This policy is non-negotiable and aligns with our professional ethics.

What is the difference between a consultation and a full contract review?

A consultation is a general discussion of your rights and obligations under Nigerian contract law, without a line-by-line examination of your document. A full review includes a written report with specific clause-by-clause analysis, recommended amendments, and risk ratings. Both are confidential, but only the full review produces a deliverable you can use in negotiations.

Can you review a contract that was already signed?

Yes, we can review an executed contract to identify existing risks and advise on possible remedies — such as renegotiation, variation, or termination rights under the Nigerian Law of Contract. However, we cannot undo a signed agreement. Our advice focuses on forward-looking steps to mitigate exposure.

What Our Clients Say

Real outcomes from contract and civil law consultations across Nigeria.

Every review reflects a specific legal concern we helped resolve — from lease disputes to consumer claims.

Lease Review

“They caught a hidden renewal clause that would have doubled my rent. The team explained the Nigerian tenancy law behind it and renegotiated the terms. Saved me over ₦200,000.”

Chinyere Onose, Lagos
Consumer Claim

“I bought a faulty generator and the seller refused a refund. Wandinwines Legal drafted a demand letter citing implied warranty under the Sale of Goods Act. I got a full refund within two weeks.”

Adegoke Oladimeji, Ibadan
Contract Advisory

“I needed a simple service agreement for my cleaning business. They reviewed the draft, pointed out three unenforceable clauses, and helped me rewrite it. Now I feel confident signing contracts.”

Sekinat Adewura, Abuja
Civil Consultation

“I was confused about my rights after a land dispute. The consultation clarified the difference between customary and statutory ownership. They gave me a clear next step without pushing litigation.”

Temitope Lolade Olaoluwa, Port Harcourt
Agreement Drafting

“They drafted a partnership agreement for my tech startup. The document covered profit sharing, exit clauses, and dispute resolution — all aligned with Nigerian contract law. Professional and thorough.”

Gbemisola Oluwunmi Joshua, Enugu
