An office of the Lagos bar, positioned for the coastline it serves.
WisePoint Attorneys is a principal-led practice on the Lekki Peninsula, advising businesses, families, and institutions on the disputes, transactions, and regulatory questions that shape Nigeria's Atlantic-facing economy.
A chamber, not a firm-with-a-capital-F.
WisePoint Attorneys is the practice of Bakson Moses, called to the Nigerian Bar and admitted to practise in all federations of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. The chamber sits on Whitesand Beach Estate in Ologolo, Lekki — a few minutes from the Deep Sea Port and the arterial roads of the peninsula.
The practice was set up deliberately as a boutique: a chamber where every mandate is opened, run, and closed by counsel who is personally accountable to the client. Where the matter benefits from broader capacity, we bring in associates and paralegals on the file — but the reading is always the principal's, and the answer that goes to the client is one the principal has signed.
We serve commercial clients across the sectors that define the Lekki corridor — ports and shipping, downstream petroleum, real estate, and the operators, financiers, and public institutions that move between them — as well as families and private clients whose matters warrant confidential, senior-level attention.
Four house rules.
Every firm claims rigour and commercial judgement. These are the four we actually keep the file honest against.
Read before we write.
Every opinion begins with the underlying documents, the correspondence, and the statute in its current form — not a summary of any of them. We flag when the record is thin, and we tell you before you're paying to fix it.
Draft for the disagreement.
Contracts, licences, and settlement papers should read cleanly on the day they are signed and hold up on the day someone is arguing they don't. We draft the clauses that would win the dispute we hope you never have.
Principal-led, always.
Counsel is on every matter and reads every filing that leaves the office. You will speak to the person who is doing the thinking on your file, not a rotating team who briefs them.
Discretion is the default.
We assume any matter may end up in an affidavit or a press release, and we conduct ourselves — internally and with counterparties — as though it will. Sensitive engagements are handled with the confidentiality they warrant.
Bakson Moses.
The principal counsel and founder of WisePoint Attorneys. Every mandate is his to open, run, and close.
Bakson Moses is the principal counsel and founder of WisePoint Attorneys. He advises across the firm's six areas — disputes, maritime, corporate and commercial, regulatory compliance, energy and natural resources, and real estate — with a particular focus on the sectors and questions that shape the Lekki corridor.
He is called to the Nigerian Bar and admitted to practise in all federations of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. He accepts instructions directly from clients as well as on referral from other counsel, and he leads every file the practice opens.
He can be reached directly by email or through the chambers line. For urgent matters, WhatsApp is monitored during and outside office hours.
A first conversation is often enough to see whether we're the right chambers.
We take an initial call without charge on most matters. If we are conflicted, or we think another chamber is better suited, we say so and we say who.
