Many disputes can be prevented or better managed through careful attention to the agreements that define a relationship from the outset. Edidiong Akpanuwa & Co. helps individuals, businesses, and institutional clients draft, review, negotiate, and structure agreements that clearly establish rights and obligations, allocate risk appropriately, and provide a strong legal foundation for commercial and personal relationships.
Our Contract Drafting & Review practice covers:
Commercial agreement drafting — preparing and negotiating supply, distribution, services, consultancy, agency, licensing, technology, outsourcing, partnership, and other commercial agreements tailored to the transaction.
Contract review and negotiation — reviewing agreements prepared by counterparties, identifying material legal and commercial risks, and negotiating terms to protect clients’ interests.
Employment contracts and workplace documentation — drafting employment agreements, offer letters, consultancy arrangements, workplace policies, and related employment documentation.
Shareholder, partnership, and joint venture agreements — structuring agreements governing ownership, decision-making, profit-sharing, management, rights, obligations, and the relationship between business partners.
Lease and property agreements — drafting, reviewing, and negotiating commercial and residential leases, licences, tenancy arrangements, and other property-related agreements.
Non-disclosure and confidentiality agreements — protecting confidential and commercially sensitive information in negotiations, investments, partnerships, transactions, and other business relationships.
Technology and intellectual property agreements — advising on software, technology services, licensing, intellectual property, data-sharing, and other technology-related contractual arrangements.
Financing and investment agreements — advising on loan agreements, security documentation, investment agreements, subscription agreements, and other contracts supporting business financing and investment.
Cross-border and international contracts — drafting and reviewing agreements involving foreign counterparties, international businesses, diaspora clients, and transactions with multi-jurisdictional considerations.
Contract lifecycle advisory — advising on contract administration, amendments, variations, renewals, extensions, termination, compliance, and other issues that arise throughout the life of an agreement.
Whether advising on a single agreement or supporting an ongoing volume of contracts, our approach remains consistent: we examine the details closely, identify material risks and opportunities, and help clients negotiate and document agreements that protect their interests and provide clarity throughout the relationship.
