TCM ATTORNEYS

DID YOU KNOW?

1.) Always remember to protect your family and business from unforseen legal risks. Reach out to your lawyer as you enter into agreements or make major life or business decisions.

2.) Never sign anything without getting a copy or taking a picture. Save yourself potential millions of Naira and up to several years in court by asking for a copy.

3.) Do not delay preparing for the unexpected; create a Will or Trust. Families are so grateful to know the wishes of the deceased when any death, expected or not, occurs.

4.) At the scene of any incident, always endeavour to get information.

5.) Do not admit liability until you talk to an Attorney. Do not speak rashly without realizing the legal ramifications, it is okay to simply remain silent and, if necessary, wait until you are able to speak to an attorney.

6.) Get agreements in writing. Courts cannot easily unravel verbal agreements but in the case of written contracts, courts are actually prohibited from considering anything outside the “four corners” of the contract.

7.) Employers and Employees are both protected by law. An Attorney would help your company to make sure that rights are respected, defend the company when frivolous claims are made and help employees whose rights have been infringed to get justice.

8.) You have rights as a Landlord or Tenant. Don’t be afraid to negotiate a contract to protect yourself.

9.) Use Professionals. Get or consult with a lawyer. You can take comfort in knowing that a trained professional will look over your issue and that lawyers are bound to keep the issues confidential.
