A New Digital Home for 45 Years of Legal Excellence: Welcome to the New Unurhoro & Co Website
Jan 29, 2026
Honouring our legacy while embracing the future of legal service delivery in Nigeria
For over four decades, Unurhoro & Co has stood as a pillar of legal excellence in Nigeria's legal landscape. Today, we are proud to unveil our new digital home—a platform that reflects not only who we are but where we're headed as we continue to serve clients across Abuja, Warri, and beyond.
Built Upon a Foundation of Judicial Integrity
Our firm's story begins with a man whose name has become synonymous with judicial excellence in Nigeria. The late Honourable Justice (Chief) Mitaire Unurhoro (1942–2021), whose distinguished career on the bench made him a judicial icon, established more than a law firm—he established a philosophy. His unwavering commitment to integrity, meticulous attention to legal detail, and profound respect for the rule of law continue to guide every case we handle, every contract we draft, and every client we serve.
This legacy is not merely historical. It lives in our daily practice, informing how we approach even the most routine matters with the same diligence and ethical rigour that defined Justice Unurhoro's illustrious career.
Why We Built This New Platform
The legal profession is evolving, and so are the needs of our clients. Business owners navigating corporate governance, families managing estate planning, entrepreneurs seeking to protect their intellectual property, and corporations operating in Nigeria's dynamic oil and gas sector—all deserve access to information and legal counsel that matches the pace of modern commerce.
Our new website represents our commitment to being accessible, transparent, and client-focused. Here, you'll find comprehensive information about our twelve practice areas, from civil litigation and criminal defence to international trade and regulatory compliance. We've designed this platform to help you understand not just what we do, but how we think about the law and its role in protecting your interests.
A Full-Service Approach for Complex Times
Nigeria's legal environment grows more sophisticated each year. Cross-border transactions require expertise in international trade law. Real estate developments demand rigorous title searches and lease documentation. Corporate restructuring calls for guidance on governance, mergers, and acquisitions. And increasingly, businesses need partners who understand the intersection of regulatory compliance, intellectual property protection, and commercial strategy.
This is precisely why we've maintained our position as a full-service law firm. When you engage Unurhoro & Co, you gain access to seasoned professionals across multiple disciplines—without the fragmentation that comes from coordinating between separate specialist firms.
Looking Forward
Under the leadership of Genevieve Unurhoro, our Principal Counsel, we are building on Justice Unurhoro's foundation while responding to the demands of contemporary legal practice. Genevieve brings credentials from the World Intellectual Property Organisation and the Institute of Chartered Secretaries and Administrators of Nigeria, combining traditional legal expertise with the specialised knowledge that today's complex matters require.
As you explore our new website, we invite you to learn more about our heritage, our team, and our practice areas. And when you're ready to discuss how we can assist with your legal needs, we're here—just as we've been for the past 45 years.
