Over the years, the Section has indeed raised the bar in the commercial law space, and this has engendered the adoption of global standards and best practices within the legal profession through constructive engagements and collaborations with relevant local and international institutions. This has been achieved through seminars, trainings, workshops, and, of course, our flagship conference which is the Annual Business Law Conference.
