We sent an invoice for a trademark opposition matter to an in-house lawyer, who immediately complained that our fees were too high.
I explained that what her foreign employer would ordinarily pay for a similar engagement in its home jurisdiction could easily be 3–4 times our invoice.
I also made a point: if Nigerian lawyers are continually packaged to foreign employers as professionals who barely charge for their services, it will eventually come back to bite us. The same lawyers may one day have to justify fee increases and better remuneration to those employers.
What we quoted was, quite frankly, chicken change compared to what a Tier 1 law firm would charge for the same engagement.
Being competitive with our fees should never mean undervaluing our professional services.
In 4+ years, we've rarely all been in the same room at once. Even today, we're not quite complete, but that's what building, growing, and serving looks like.
This is Stetson LLP. The best is yet to come.

I've never seen a body that is so difficult, filled with hypocritical people who are very ignorant and base their convictions and arguments on what their man of God has said, but lack a deep understanding of the Scriptures. This is particularly evident among social media Christians.
The Scripture in Mark 10 clearly explains that Moses issued a certificate of divorce to them because of the hardness of their hearts towards their partners. That hardness of heart was not broken down. It automatically means there were several issues involved in the hardness of their hearts.
Jesus went further to explain that marriage is supposed to last.
However, God permitted Moses to issue them certificates of divorce.
This means that God already understands that human beings are not perfect and will definitely make mistakes, even in marriage.
You see, God does not choose a life partner for us, and God does not run our marriages for us. We are responsible for choosing our life partners, and the kind of life partner we choose matters a lot.
We are also responsible for running our marital homes ourselves, even though God's guidance is available to us.
Therefore, mistakes can happen when someone goes into marriage with the wrong person. Mistakes can also happen in the way people manage their marriages.
However, when adultery sets in, when a partner becomes a chronic fornicator, when physical abuse escalates into life-threatening situations, or when unbearable family issues make the marriage almost impossible to sustain and violence begins to set in, there is no way divorce will not become a possible outcome.
There can be several genuine reasons for divorce. God's original plan is not for people to divorce, but man is man, and even God acknowledges that human beings are imperfect.
Therefore, a pastor who has properly and legally divorced and subsequently decides to remarry should not automatically become a subject of condemnation.
Unfortunately, people in the body of Christ seem to enjoy creating unnecessary problems and controversies over issues they have not taken the time to understand deeply. And that is one of the reasons it appears that the body of Christ in Nigeria is not growing as it should.
We need to move beyond religious arguments, sentiments and what our pastors have taught us. We need to develop a deeper understanding of the Scriptures and learn to seek the Holy Spirit for understanding.
IS IT ADULTERY WHEN A CHRISTIAN REMARRIES AFTER DIVORCE?
Here is my honest opinion.
Marriage is meant to be a lifelong union. Jesus made this clear in Matthew 19:4-9. However, in verse 9, He also recognised an exception in cases of sexual immorality.
Paul further addresses abandonment in 1 Corinthians 7:12-15, explaining that when an unbelieving spouse chooses to leave, the believing partner is not bound in such circumstances.
I believe the circumstances surrounding a divorce matter. If a marriage ends because of sexual immorality or abandonment, we must consider what Scripture says about those situations before declaring that remarriage automatically amounts to adultery.
We can uphold the sanctity of marriage while recognising that Scripture makes room for certain exceptions.
