Our focus in intellectual property practice is to help clients protect their business. We handle trademark, patent and copyright registrations across various fields in business for our clients. We also take action to enforce our client’s intellectual property rights and to defend against allegations of infringement. We have been involved in the preparation of various agreements for the transfer of technology, international franchising and the exploitation of the intellectual property rights by licensing and joint venture schemes.
Obtaining work permits and other Nigerian immigration permissions are part of the ancillary services that we offer to our foreign clients. The firm has guided foreigners in making a smooth and cost-effective transition in setting up their businesses and working in Nigeria. We also advise on tax considerations, shareholder agreements, and collaborations such as joint ventures, partnerships, franchises, and technical service agreements both in Nigeria and outside the country.
