Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about civil law consultations and personal tax filing under the Personal Income Tax Act (PITA).

What types of civil disputes do you handle?

We assist with civil dispute resolution advice, including contract disagreements, property boundary issues, and minor tort claims. Our focus is on helping you understand your legal position and explore options like negotiation or mediation before formal litigation.

How do I know if I need to file a personal income tax return?

Under the Personal Income Tax Act (PITA), any individual earning income in Nigeria — whether from employment, business, or investments — is required to file an annual tax return. We can review your income sources and help determine your filing obligations.

What documents do I need for tax filing assistance?

Typically, you will need your pay slips, bank statements, previous tax clearance certificates, and records of any deductions or reliefs you plan to claim. We will guide you through the full list during your consultation.

Can you review a service contract before I sign it?

Yes. We offer contract review services to identify key clauses related to scope of work, payment terms, termination conditions, and liability limits. Our goal is to ensure you understand your rights and obligations before committing.

How long does a civil dispute resolution process take?

Timelines vary depending on the complexity of the case and the method chosen. Mediation or negotiation can take a few weeks, while litigation may extend over several months. We will provide a realistic estimate based on your specific situation.

What is the cost of an initial consultation?

We offer a fixed-fee initial consultation to discuss your legal or tax concerns. The fee covers a one-hour session where we review your situation and outline possible next steps. Contact us for current rates.
