At Chen-Yung Orokodo & Co, we provide legal services that help businesses, entrepreneurs, and non-profits operate with confidence. From registration to regulatory compliance, our work is designed to protect your interests and keep you focused on growth.
Starting a business begins with proper registration. We guide entrepreneurs, SMEs, and multinationals through the process of registering companies in Nigeria with the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) and in the UK with Companies House. From selecting the right structure to preparing the required documents, we handle the details so you can focus on building your enterprise.
We don’t stop at paperwork—we explain the implications of each business type and what it means for your taxes, liability, and compliance obligations. That way, you launch with full awareness of your responsibilities and opportunities.
Non-profits, charities, and religious organisations must be registered as Incorporated Trustees in Nigeria. We make the process seamless by preparing your constitution, coordinating trustee documentation, and managing filings with the Corporate Affairs Commission.
Our approach gives your organisation legal recognition, credibility with donors, and the ability to operate transparently. We also advise on governance practices that keep your NGO compliant and sustainable long after registration.
Your ideas, brand, and creations are valuable assets. We help protect them by filing trademarks and other intellectual property rights with the relevant authorities in Nigeria and the UK. Our role is to ensure your work remains legally yours, even in competitive markets.
Beyond registration, we draft and review IP agreements to safeguard ownership, licensing, and use of your intellectual property. This gives you the confidence to expand and collaborate without fear of losing control over your assets.
Strong legal documents prevent disputes and protect your interests. We draft contracts, agreements, policies, and corporate documents that are precise, enforceable, and tailored to your needs.
Our drafting process balances legal strength with clarity, so you and your partners can understand the terms without ambiguity. This way, your agreements do more than sit in a file—they actively support the success of your business.
With businesses handling more personal data than ever, compliance with data protection laws is essential. We help organisations in Nigeria and beyond meet the requirements of both the Nigeria Data Protection Regulation (NDPR) and the European GDPR.
Our services include audits, drafting of privacy policies, staff training, and breach response planning. By working with us, you not only avoid fines and penalties but also build trust with clients and partners who care about how their information is handled.
Good governance is more than a legal requirement—it’s the backbone of a sustainable business. We support boards and management teams with resolutions, shareholder agreements, annual filings, and record-keeping.
By keeping your company compliant with Nigerian law, we reduce the risk of penalties, disputes, or loss of credibility. Our guidance ensures your organisation runs with transparency and accountability, which strengthens investor and stakeholder confidence.
Every business faces industry-specific regulations, from banking to energy to technology. We help you understand and comply with the rules that apply to your sector, whether that means securing licences, filing reports, or meeting anti–money laundering obligations.
Our advisory services anticipate risks before they become problems. Instead of reacting to penalties or delays, you get a clear compliance roadmap that supports smooth operations and positions your business for growth.
We tailor our services to your exact needs. Book a consultation today to discuss your goals and let us guide you through the legal steps with clarity and confidence.
We provide practical, reliable, and forward-thinking legal services that help startups, SMEs, and multinational corporations operate with confidence.
