The Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) Remuneration Order Committee calls on all legal practitioners to fill out the 2-minute questionnaire assessing the impact and compliance level of the Legal Practitioners’ Remuneration Order 2023, which came into force on May 16, 2023.
This landmark Order sets out minimum standards for legal fees across various transactions, litigation, and consultancy services, protecting lawyers from underpricing and exploitation. It’s a tool for restoring dignity, value, and consistency in how legal services are charged and delivered.
Why This Matters:
Lawyers deserve to earn fair value for their work. The Order is a step in the right direction — but enforcement requires data. Your input will:
- Help evaluate the Order’s real-world impact.
- Identify enforcement challenges.
- Shape the Committee’s next steps toward full nationwide implementation.
