BACKGROUND
We Started the Lawyers in Bussiness Int’l (Founders of the LIBI) in 2018; as a platform to teach Lawyers and Learn from their experiences, in the area of Bussiness and Business ownership.
We had our first Workshop, with Professor Earnest Ojukwu SAN as the Keynote Speaker.
We set out to clear the wrong Notion that Lawyers are not allowed to do Business and to explain step-by-step approaches a Lawyer can take to set up and run a business successfully; without any offence to the RPC.
Before Covid, we had our second Workshop in which we invited individuals and companies that are doing well in Business to guide Lawyer on how to start.
These are Bussineses a Lawyer can learn a few skills on, Register a Limited Liability Company as the SPV to drive it, streamline operations in few months and be able to earn money with the phone/laptop; from the comfort of the Home,office and/or Court.
When we Practice without a hungry stomach, we Practice with dignity and honor.
We won’t charge N20k to draft Deed of Assignment and Power of Attorney for a Property of Six Million.(a Colleague did and put his Seal boldly).
We won’t charge 50k to register a Limited Liability Company; just so we are able to feed.(e no easy).
With your support and cooperation, we will see how far we can go before the year ends.

Send a message to the admin for details of any of the above opportunities; as we restrict messages to avoid spam and scam messages.
LIBI…Multiple income for greater Dignity.
