Labour Law & Industrial Relations
Labour & Employment Lawyers In Abuja
We protect your workplace rights, helping employers and employees prevent disputes, resolve conflicts, and build stronger working relationships.
Your Partner in Labour & Employment Challenges
Behind every employment dispute is a story — a worker who feels wronged, a manager under pressure, a company trying to do the right thing. These aren’t just “HR problems”; they can hit morale, productivity and your bottom line.
Polaris Solicitors works alongside you to defuse tension before it explodes and to act decisively when it already has.
Whether you need a watertight employment contract, help with a union issue, or representation in a dismissal claim, we’ll guide you toward practical, legally sound solutions.
Our goal: safeguard your rights, protect your reputation and keep the workplace running smoothly.

How We Can Help
Labour law is about people as much as it is about regulations. Mismanaging an employment issue can damage morale, lead to lawsuits, or attract penalties.
At Polaris Solicitors, we combine a deep knowledge of Nigerian labour and industrial relations law with real-world experience to help you avoid those pitfalls.
We don’t just tell you what the law says — we explain how to apply it in a way that protects your interests and maintains healthy workplace relationships.
Whether you’re drafting policies, negotiating with unions, or defending a claim, you’ll get clear, proactive advice every step of the way.
When you work with us, you’re not just hiring a lawyer. You’re gaining a partner who understands the pressures of running a workforce and the rights of employees, and who will guide you through challenges with clarity and confidence.
