The partners and associates of the firm belong to various internationally recognized professional bodies including the International Bar Association (Energy Law, Shipping and Maritime,) as well as the Telecommunication Lawyers Association, Chartered Institute of Arbitrators, Institute of Chartered Secretaries and Administrators, and Chartered Institute of Taxation, to mention a few. Membership in these associations affords us the opportunity to liaise with other members of the profession, thereby allowing us to develop the capabilities of the firm.

Client Commitment

We are committed to client care and developing long-term relationships. To this end, a Partner will take overall responsibility for client relationship in order to ensure that expectations are met.

On receiving instructions, we will constitute an appropriate team to carry out the instructions; bearing in mind the level of seniority and areas of expertise needed to do the job in an efficient and cost effective manner.

Whatever the issue, our approach is always based on commercial realism. Templars offers clients more than just legal advice. We develop a real understanding of the sectors and markets in which our clients work. We understand the commercial factors affecting their businesses and provide qualitative commercial solutions to help them achieve their business objectives.

It is also the practice of the firm to bring to the attention of our clients all new laws and regulations that would influence their business in Nigeria as soon as these are promulgated and / or enacted. Our regular newsletters in the relevant sectors are also forwarded to our client.

Our clients

Our practice is structurally divided between litigation/arbitration and advisory work. We are well versed in domestic and international business transactions involving the formation of multinational strategic alliances and business arrangements.

Over the years, we have served as advisers to individuals and organisations in need of an indigenous firm with high international standards. As a result of the calibre of services we provide, we are highly sought after by prospective clients requiring unique solutions to legal and related problems.

Careers

At Templars, we have a strong entrepreneurial ethos. We reward initiative, ideas and hard work and offer career options through our varied practice groups.

Though we encourage and imbibe the culture of hard work, we also believe that time must be made out for relaxation and human relations outside the office environment. To this end we organize social outings once a month when all the lawyers (partners included) socialize and freely discuss issues in a relaxed atmosphere.

Each lawyer is placed under the close supervision of a partner and personal development is encouraged through participation in a range of courses, seminars, lectures and workshops.

We welcome applications from hardworking and self-motivated lawyers who want to be part of a leading law firm.  To apply, please send your CV and a covering letter to [email protected].
