Justice Augie, Solanke, Olanipekun for Kenna Partners’ 25th anniversary

Justice Amina Augie of the Supreme Court will deliver the
25th-anniversary lecture of a law firm, Kenna Partners.

It will be chaired by the first female Senior Advocate of
Nigeria (SAN) Chief ‘Folake Solanke.

In commemoration of the firm’s silver jubilee, a colloquium with
the theme: Footprints in Law and Society: Towards a paradigm shift,
will be held.

A panel consisting of members of the bench, legal luminaries and
other professionals will discuss the evolution of law and legal
practice.

They include former Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) President
Chief Wole Olanipekun (SAN), former Foreign Affairs Minister Odein
Ajumogobia (SAN) and Mr. Damian Dodo (SAN).

The firm will unveil a book: Brief insights: a Selection of
Milestone Cases, which chronicles notable court decisions.

Kenna Partners’ Principal Partner Prof Fabian Ajogwu (SAN) said:
“The book is a careful selection of cases, the persuasive arguments
of lawyers and the decisions that have enriched legal practice and
modern legal history in recent times.

“The milestone cases selected and discussed touch on practice
and procedure, company law, real estate, fundamental human rights,
election petition, oil and gas, maritime, amongst others.

“The book is another contribution to legal knowledge and
practice in Nigeria by the law firm of Kenna Partners.”

The event will hold on Friday at the Oriental Hotel in Victoria
Island, Lagos.

Ajogwu said Justice Augie would discuss how the legal profession
can retain its cherished traditions while evolving to meet the
emerging realities of a dynamic and interconnected modern
world.

“Law continues to be an instrument of social engineering and as
the law evolves, there is a need for lawyers, judges and the entire
legal system to adopt changes in the approach to addressing
challenges in the society,” he said.

On how the firm has come this far, Ajogwu said Kenna Partners
places premium on human capital, adding that they have a seamless
structure that ensures things work with or without him.

He said he hoped that the firm, with its succession plan, will
get better in years to come.
