What is Commercial Litigation?
Commercial litigation involves legal disputes arising from business transactions and relationships. It encompasses a wide range of issues, including breach of contract, partnership disputes, shareholder disagreements, and regulatory violations. In Nigeria, commercial litigation is governed by the Companies and Allied Matters Act (CAMA), the Federal High Court Act, and other relevant laws. Effective litigation requires a deep understanding of both legal principles and business practices.
