Many online platforms require users to click “I Agree” before proceeding.
What many people do not realize is that clicking that button may create legally binding obligations.
Before accepting online terms, take a moment to understand what you are agreeing to. #legaltips

Many entrepreneurs make legal mistakes that can cost them later.
Here are 3 common ones:
1️⃣ Operating without proper registration
2️⃣ Ignoring written contracts
3️⃣ Mixing personal and business finances
These can lead to serious legal issues later.

“Read Before You Sign.”
The law assumes you understand any document you sign, even if you didn’t read it.
Pause. Read. Ask questions.

Verbal agreements may seem convenient, but they can be difficult to prove if disputes arise.
Putting important agreements in writing helps clarify the terms and protects everyone involved.
A simple written agreement today can prevent serious disputes tomorrow.

Many people assume that once a receipt is issued, the entire agreement is protected.
However, a receipt often only confirms that payment has been made. It may not contain the full terms of the agreement.
For important transactions, ensure the terms are clearly documented

LEGAL MINUTE WITH DORCAS OYE, ESQ
Signing as a witness is not just a formality.
A witness confirms that the person signing the document did so voluntarily and in their presence.
Before signing as a witness, make sure you understand what you are witnessing.

Never sign a document that has blank spaces or incomplete sections.
A blank document can later be filled with terms you never agreed to, which may expose you to serious legal consequences.
Always ensure every part of a document is properly completed and understood before signing

VERBAL AGREEMENTS IN NIGERIA
Verbal agreements can be valid in Nigeria.
But can you prove the terms?
If it’s not written, enforcement becomes difficult.
Documentation protects relationships.

Concise & Impactful
Before you sign that contract, pause.
Check: • Termination clause
• Payment terms
• Liability
• Dispute resolution
If you don’t understand it, don’t sign it.
Contracts are protection — not decoration.

Your business structure determines your liability, taxes, and growth.
Start right.
Structure first.

Why Every Business Owner Needs a Written Contract
Verbal agreements are risky.
If it involves money, services, timelines, or partnership, put it in writing.
Contracts protect relationships.
They don’t destroy them.

Business + family + no agreement

= avoidable problems.

Clarity protects relationships.

The Person Behind the Wig
Being a lawyer has taught me more than statutes and procedures
It has taught me patience
It has taught me accountability
It has taught me that words — written or spoken, carry weight.
Law is not just a profession, It is a responsibility.
