For Nigerians living abroad, our International Services Desk provides a clear point of contact for Nigerian legal matters. We use secure remote meetings, structured document review and regular updates, while recognising when a transaction or proceeding requires physical attendance in Nigeria.
If your question is specific to your documents, deadlines or circumstances, a confidential consultation is the right next step.

Black Oak Legal is based in Ibadan, Oyo State. The firm advises clients in Lagos, Abuja and other parts of Nigeria, and can coordinate appropriate local support where the nature or location of a matter requires it.
Yes. The International Services Desk supports Nigerians in the diaspora with property, business, estate planning, family, succession and dispute-related matters in Nigeria. Meetings and document reviews can be managed remotely, subject to the requirements of the particular transaction or proceeding.
You do not need to classify the matter before contacting the firm. Start with the decision, concern or outcome you need help with. During the initial consultation, the relevant legal issues and the appropriate service route will be identified.
Consultations are ordinarily paid. Where a matter proceeds to a formal engagement, 50 per cent of the consultation fee may be credited towards the agreed professional fees, subject to the terms communicated when the consultation is booked.
Prepare a short chronology, the key documents already available, the names of the relevant parties, any deadline or court date, and the practical outcome you want. If some documents are missing, the lawyer can identify what else is required after reviewing the matter.
Book a confidential consultation and receive advice grounded in your facts, priorities and legal position.
