At Synergy we understand that clients need to face their core businesses, avoiding the disruption and distraction that legal disputes can bring about. So, we consider it an overarching goal at Synergy to help our clients to face their core business by conducting their legal affairs in such a way as to reduce the potential for litigated disputes. No less important for us is the actual handling of disputes for our clients when they do arise, including through litigation and alternatives to litigation. The growth of international trade and commerce has brought in its wake the need for an efficient, business-friendly means of resolving trade disputes. Commercial arbitration provides this medium and the legal environment is conducive with Nigeria as a signatory to the 1958 New York Convention for the Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Arbitral Awards and other relevant treaties and conventions. Members of the team belong to the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators.
