Biography

Chris Edache Agbiti is a Partner at 24 Law Chambers with over two decades of litigation experience and a track record of appearing for government agencies, state institutions, and the Federal Government of Nigeria in high-profile and complex proceedings. His practice spans commercial litigation, constitutional and election petition matters, securities and capital markets disputes, and structured alternative dispute resolution.

He has appeared at every level of the Nigerian court system — Federal and State High Courts, the Court of Appeal, and the Supreme Court — as well as before specialised tribunals including Election Petitions Tribunals and the Investment and Securities Tribunal (IST). His experience of government and institutional mandates gives him a firm grasp of the procedural and political dynamics that shape complex public-sector litigation, and a practical understanding of how to manage high-stakes, multi-party proceedings to a commercially useful outcome.

As a registered Capital Market Operator with the SEC and a Chartered Mediator and Conciliator, Chris brings both capital market advisory capability and structured dispute resolution expertise to 24 Law Chambers. His SEC registration is a differentiating credential that enables the firm to advise on capital market compliance and Investment and Securities Tribunal matters directly.

His practice also covers regulatory compliance advisory and corporate and commercial work for institutional and corporate clients.
