Lawyers consider different factors when deciding on which law firms to work with. It could be because the law firm specializes in an area that is of interest to such lawyer or for some other reasons such as salary, the possibility of huge bonuses, rankings in legal directories, work environment, growth and learning potential, or some kind of competitive edge that comes from working with a particular law firm.
In a recent survey conducted to ascertain the Nigerian law firms lawyers find most attractive to work in, the following law firms emerged.
