James Abaa

I’m a Senior Litigation & Commercial Disputes Lawyer with 6 years post-call experience, representing multinational corporations, financial institutions, and private clients across civil, commercial, property, regulatory, employment, and appellate matters. I independently manage hearings and advocate effectively from trial stages through appeal.

I’m known for strong courtroom strategy and for drafting the documents that drive outcomes—originating processes, pleadings, applications, notices of appeal, and appellate briefs (including reply briefs). I develop litigation strategy and legal arguments in high-value disputes, supporting both litigation risk management and enforcement options.

Since 2021, as Associate Counsel at M.J. Onigbanjo & Co, I prosecute and coordinate complex matters end-to-end, including procedural compliance across multiple active files. My work includes successful contributions for MultiChoice Nigeria Limited and First Bank of Nigeria Limited, including interim relief motions and appellate filings that protect clients’ commercial interests.
