Why Old Stone
Senior judgement, without the distance.
Every instruction is led by a senior lawyer who stays close to your matter from the first conversation to the final resolution. Because we work online, that lawyer is never more than a call away, and you are never left waiting for an appointment slot in a building you had to travel to. Considered advice, in plain language, on your schedule.
- Senior-led teams on every engagement, with no handing down to unsupervised juniors
- Advice grounded in the governing law, whether that is Nigerian, English or Canadian
- Transparent scope and fees agreed before work begins
How we work
One firm, three legal systems, wherever you are.
Cross-border matters rarely respect a single legal system, and neither do modern lives. Our lawyers are qualified across Nigeria, the United Kingdom and Canada, and we work with a global network of trusted independent counsel. One point of contact coordinates everything, so a contract, an estate or an investment holds together wherever it touches ground.
- A single point of contact coordinating counsel across borders
- Practitioners qualified in the regulator, courts and commercial landscape of each jurisdiction
- Trusted referral relationships that extend our reach worldwide
