Public Revenue Recovery
& Government Mandates.

Legal strategy, negotiation, litigation, arbitration, settlement, and enforcement for public institutions and government-related entities seeking to recover outstanding revenues, debts, and statutory entitlements.

Public Revenue Recovery & Government Mandates

Overview

Public institutions and government-related entities across Nigeria hold significant outstanding revenues, statutory debts, and contractual receivables that remain uncollected. The reasons vary — administrative inertia, disputed obligations, uncooperative debtors, jurisdictional complexity, and institutional reluctance to litigate without a clear strategy.

24 Law Chambers provides the legal platform for these recoveries. We work with public institutions to identify, validate, pursue, negotiate, litigate, arbitrate, settle, and enforce outstanding claims — with the strategic credibility and courtroom authority that high-value government mandates require.

Approach

Every public revenue mandate is led by the Managing Partner. We do not delegate government-facing work to junior lawyers. Our approach combines legal rigour with institutional credibility — we understand how public institutions operate, how their decision-making processes work, and how to structure recovery strategies that are both legally sound and practically achievable.
