Nigerian Legal Directory of Law Firms and Lawyers

Nigerian Lawyers Directory promises to become the most comprehensive and functional electronic database of “Nigerian Lawyers” (those qualified to practise in Nigeria, irrespective of their nationality, and Nigerians abroad who are qualified to practise wherever they are resident). We have integrated our specialized website, www.nigerianlawyersdirectory.com (dedicated to the Directory), into the Nigerian Law Resources website in order to enhance the one-stop functionality of this composite project. Nigerian Lawyers Directory is a professional resource open to individual lawyers (irrespective of place of employment) and law firms. It will create professional interaction and business co-operation, as lawyers can search for and share expert knowledge in various areas of specialisation. Significantly, this unique Directory will put Nigerian lawyers in the limelight of the international legal community.

A search on the world’s leading search engines (Google, Yahoo! and Microsoft Bing) will convince you.

And come to think of it, is there a Lawyer who cannot afford to pay just £20.00 or N5,500.00 in Nigeria per year to have a dedicate webpage in the Nigerian Lawyers Directory? Tell it not in Gath, say it not anywhere someone can hear! Click here today and let the whole wide world know that you are there.

Remember, it is already an embarrassment for you and your law practice not to have a professional web presence, just as it is for you not to have an email address! Nigerian lawyers must now begin to be technology conscious if they have to be relevant in the global boundless legal space. What a desperate call in the 21st century, when Lee Loevinger introduced jurimetrics into legal practice and legal processes since 1949! Some years ago, This Day Newspaper carried a story titled, Nigeria: Less Than 20 Percent of Nigerian Lawyers are Computer Literate! One wonders whether the situation has even improved. Nigerian Law Resources is committed to contributing to a drastic change of this ugly status quo. Click here today and change your own situation. Yes, you can.
