Who We Are

Odujinrin & Adefulu is a full service Nigerian commercial law ﬁrm operating out of the country’s key commercial nerve centers – Lagos, Abuja & Port-Harcourt. As one of Nigeria’s oldest subsisting legal partnerships, we bring a wealth of experience to service our clients in matters pertaining to: corporate restructuring, corporate ﬁnance, project ﬁnance, capital market, mergers & acquisitions, privatization advisory, public private partnership, government advisory, power, oil and gas and dispute resolution et cetera.

In 1972, two daring and audacious young men, Chief Oladipo Odujinrin and Prince Adeyemi Adefulu wanted to do things differently. So, they came up with the brilliant idea to bring their solicitor and barrister expertise under one practice, which was uncommon in Nigeria at the time.

Our Approach

We recognise that the need of each client and transaction is peculiar and our lawyers are trained to appreciate each client/transaction requirement and ensure that the advisory services rendered take this into consideration.

Also, the proximity of our offices provides a logistic advantage.

We not only tackle specialised legal matters, but also provide focused commercial advice to enable clients achieve their ultimate business objective within the required timeframe. Our culture has developed the expert approach of understanding each client’s speciﬁc needs and the business, community and regulatory environment in which the client is operating.
