Administrative Law
We combine our familiarity with every step in government administrative proceedings with an extensive knowledge of how outreach or litigation can modify agency actions that adversely impact your interests. Whether you are the subject of an enforcement action or wish to challenge an agency’s regulations, our attorneys are equipped to represent clients in many regulated industries.
JB Legal’s Administrative Law Team represents companies, industry associations, and regulatory stakeholders in challenging adverse government agency actions across Nigeria, including matters before the Federal High Court, State High Courts, Court of Appeal, and the Supreme Court. When government decisions that benefit our clients are contested, we intervene or file amicus briefs to defend those actions.
Our attorneys are experts in claims and remedies under Nigerian administrative law, including the Administrative Procedure Act, and have extensive experience navigating the complex doctrines and regulations that determine outcomes in government disputes. Our team includes lawyers with deep experience across regulatory and legal sectors, including professionals who have previously served in senior positions in federal and state ministries, regulatory bodies, and agencies such as the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC), Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), National Environmental Standards and Regulations Enforcement Agency (NESREA), and Federal Competition & Consumer Protection Commission (FCCPC).
JB Legal combines regulatory knowledge with strategic litigation experience to protect clients’ interests in administrative proceedings and achieve favorable outcomes in the most complex government and regulatory disputes in Nigeria.
