Who we are

Abel Partners is a firm of Legal Practitioners and Notaries Public established over twenty-six (26) years ago by four partners with extensive professional experience across multiple areas of legal practice. The firm was founded by Akinyanju, Bode, Ejeta, and Lloyd, whose initials form the acronym ABEL.

At inception, the founding partners had each honed their legal skills through more than a decade of cognate legal practice in diverse areas of law, including banking, insolvency practice, courtroom advocacy, maritime law, corporate and commercial law, and property law. This depth of experience provided a strong foundation for the firm’s growth and enduring reputation.

Over the years, Abel Partners has become recognised as one of the leading law firms in Nigeria, with a clearly defined niche in commercial litigation, insolvency practice, and solicitor’s work. The firm is known for its professionalism, sound legal judgment, and commitment to protecting the interests of its clients.

Our practice is organised into departments led by experienced legal practitioners, each with over a decade of professional experience. This structure enables us to provide comprehensive legal support and practical solutions tailored to the needs of our clients.

Abel Partners serves a broad and diverse clientele, both locally and internationally, comprising individuals, corporate organisations, and institutions.

The firm is presently led by its Managing Partner, Sir Ejeta Otuoniyo, a consummate legal professional with over thirty-seven (37) years of cognate experience across various areas of legal practice.
