Duale, Ovia & Alex-Adedipe (“DOA”) is a specialized law firm that provides a wide range of services to clients including corporations, multinationals, local and foreign investors, financial institutions, institutional investors, government and governmental agencies and foreign law firms.

We pride ourselves as trusted advisers and continually ensure our clients are happy with our services.  In providing our services, we unite expert views from all areas of our firm to create legal solutions that are uniquely suited to our clients.

DOA is strategically positioned in the economic heart of the country with two offices in Lagos (Nigeria’s corporate and economic center) and Abuja (Nigeria’s Federal Capital).

As a firm, we effect our distinct understanding and knowledge of the African business environment to advise our clients on legal issues. We also understand the challenges and complexities of doing business in Nigeria and, hence, clients have continually relied on our intricate and artful knowledge of the law and economic realities of Nigeria in providing bespoke legal services that achieve their respective corporate and business objectives.

Our expertise in several areas of law has frequently been,  and continues to be, recognized by regional and global organizations and bodies.

In addition, DOA is fully committed to giving back to society, locally and internationally. We have consistently adopted a corporate social responsibility which includes providing pro-bono services to victims of human rights abuse and less privileged persons, encouraging the involvement of the girl child in the tech space by highlighting the unlimited opportunities available to girls in the tech industry through our annual seminar hosted during International Women’s Day.

In our effort to contribute to the development and actualisation of the World Bank Sustainable Development Goals, the firm sponsored and participated in the panel discussion on Investing Impact Capital In Nigeria. The event advocated for the role of lawyers’ impact investing and how we can advise impact investors to achieve their sustainable commercial and social and environment development objectives.
