About The Firm

Founded in Abuja by two litigators who got tired of slow counsel

Partners Ada Okonkwo and Emeka Ubah met at the Nigerian Bar and founded the firm in 2016 on a simple frustration: too many businesses were getting legal advice too slowly. Okonkwo Ubah LP runs lean, moves fast, and bills transparently.
