About The Firm

A firm built on cross-border experience and personal commitment.

Our Story

THE LAW OFFICE OF BABS AYANRINDE — also known in Nigeria as Barking & Brighton Chambers — was founded in Abuja by Babs Ayanrinde, a UK-Nigerian dual-qualified lawyer with over 15 years of legal practice. Called to the Nigerian Bar as a Barrister and Solicitor of the Supreme Court of Nigeria and a member of the Nigerian Bar Association, Babs is also a Chartered Legal Executive Litigator in England and Wales.

Babs trained under a respected Nigerian senior lawyer at Kenny Ayanwale & Co., gaining over five years of hands-on litigation and advocacy experience before returning to establish an independent practice in Abuja—bringing together UK immigration, employment and tort expertise with deep familiarity of Nigerian civil procedure.

The firm is based at Block A, Third Floor, Bright Stat Plaza, 50 Ebitu Ukiwe Street, Jabi, Abuja FCT, and serves clients across Nigeria seeking redress for personal injury, negligence and other civil wrongs, as well as general litigation and legal consultancy support.
