JEE recognised for excellence and commitment to quality legal service in Nigeria

Foremost Nigerian Commercial law firm, Jackson Etti & Edu (JEE) has been commended for its commitment to the development of legal service in Nigeria.

Speaking at the firm’s 20th anniversary dinner, which held recently at Claridges Mayfair, London, the Honourable Minister of Foreign Affairs, Geoffrey Onyeama, highlighted the firm’s qualities and remarkable service in the legal industry. According to him, the law firm had exhibited great commitment to demonstrating the capabilities of Nigerian institutions and projecting a positive image of Nigeria to the rest of the world. He also congratulated the firm’s Partners and staff on the landmark celebration.

On his part, the executive governor of Lagos State, Akinwunmi Ambode, who was a Special Guest at the Dinner Dance held at the Civic Centre, Victoria Island, Lagos also spoke admirably of the firm.

His words, “Jackson, Etti & Edu is one of the firms Lagos State remains proud of.”

Jackson Etti & Edu celebrated its 20th Anniversary with three successful events; a client’s dinner at Claridges Mayfair; a fund raising Charity Walk Against Cancer and a Dinner Dance at the Civic Centre, Victoria Island for current staff and alumni. Among dignitaries who attended the London event, was the Acting High Commissioner of Nigeria to the United Kingdom, Adah Simon Ogah.

The Managing Partner, Koye Edu explained the rationale for the three distinct events.

“This celebration is dedicated to the people who have supported us throughout our remarkable 20-year journey. We are thrilled to be celebrating this momentous occasion with our clients, colleagues and friends and eagerly anticipate the journey ahead for our legal practice.”

He continued, “We decided to have a clients’ dinner in London as it was the ideal meeting point for our diverse local and international clients. Our fundraising Charity Walk had great meaning to us, as we lost one of our Partners to cancer so we had a walk in her honour and to also create awareness on the benefit of early detection. We also raised money from our Walk and made a donation to a reputable Cancer Support Organisation.

“The Civic Centre Dinner Dance was an opportunity to thank all our staff and give awards for staff who have worked with us for over 10 years and to recognise our alumni who have also played a role in our 20-year story,” the Managing Partner said.

With over a 100 legal, paralegal and support staff in its employ; three full-fledged and functional offices in Nigeria, (Victoria Island, Ikeja and Abuja); and an associate office in Accra, Ghana, the firm has remained committed to providing excellent legal services to local and international clients for the next 20 years and beyond.
