Lesley Agams
Senior Partner
Lesley brings over 30 years of continuous experience in matrimonial causes, women’s rights and alternate dispute resolution in Nigeria. Over the years she has provided thousands of women (and men) legal information through her blog, seminars and one on one consultations. She has also represented hundreds of clients in court. She has exclusively practiced family law for over 20 years.
Agams was called to the Nigerian Bar in 1989 and has been helping women mediate, litigate and settle matrimonial disputes ever since. In 2000 she opened the first women’s shelter in Imo State. At the shelter she started to exclusively provide mostly pro bono services for matrimonial causes, and developed her specialization. Her work at the shelter showed her how uninformed women were about marriage, divorce and custody. In 2011 she started her blog and a series of seminars to reach more women across Nigeria. She found men equally uninformed and searching for information.
Her mission is to ensure couples have the information, resources and support they need for successful marriage, divorce and custody.
