They kept a heated landlord–tenant matter from becoming a prolonged public scrap. The mediator understood Lagos rent realities and helped us sign terms both sides could live with.
Jonathan Bello · Surulere, Lagos
Our partnership dispute could have killed a growing logistics brand. Mount Royal structured multi-session talks and we walked out with a buy-out path that preserved the business.
Adebiyi Isan · Gwarinpa, Abuja
Family mediation here felt respectful—especially when elders needed to be heard. We shielded the children from a drawn-out fight and settled parenting rhythms calmly.
Abdulagafar Musa · Old GRA, Port Harcourt
Their neutral understood banking expectations and neighbourhood politics at once. Reaching terms here saved everyone months compared with juggling parallel processes elsewhere.
John Isa · Victoria Island, Lagos

Is mediation accepted in Nigeria?Yes. The Arbitration and Mediation Act 2023 makes provision for mediation as a statutory recognized alternative dispute resolution mechanism in Nigeria. A mediation settlement agreement can be enforced as a consent judgment of the court.Do I need someone advising me?Mediators remain neutral—we don’t advocate for anyone. Some parties invite accountants, elders, or coaches for complex bundles; others start with only the disputing sides in the room. We’ll clarify format at intake.What kinds of disputes do you mediate?Commercial contracts, workplace conflicts, family matters, property, debt conversations, and community disputes. If your matter falls outside our roster, we signpost you promptly.How is mediation different from arbitration?Mediation helps parties author their own agreement with a neutral facilitator. Arbitration hands decision-making to an arbitrator. Mediation preserves more control and often more privacy.
-
Where do sessions take place?We host in-person sessions in Lagos and Abuja partner facilities, and secure video sessions for dispersed teams—always with confidentiality protocols agreed upfront.How long does a mediation session last?Most mediation sessions last between 2 and 8 hours, depending on the complexity of the dispute. More complex matters may require multiple sessions. Mediation is generally much faster than going to court.Can sessions include interpreters or elders?Yes. We arrange interpreters and culturally appropriate participation where that supports balanced dialogue—especially in family and community matters.What if talks collapse?You keep every other path open. Private caucus notes stay confidential; only signed outcomes travel beyond the room unless everyone agrees otherwise.
-
How are fees structured?Fees typically combine an administrative intake charge and mediator time—quoted before we lock dates. Corporate panels can agree quarterly retainers for repeat disputes.Do you accept bank transfers?Yes. We issue invoices in Naira (and selected USD arrangements for cross-border teams) with standard Nigerian banking rails.Will I receive documentation?You receive engagement letters, session summaries where agreed, and draft agreement language you can refine with anyone you choose to involve.Are VAT and withholding taxes included?Tax treatment depends on service classification and your organisation’s status—we outline applicable lines clearly on every invoice.
