Services

Litigation

We have experienced litigation lawyers with great skills who will argue your case brilliantly in court. We employ great tactics to sway the judgment to your advantage, and also get the best deal for you, in case of a settlement. We take care of every phase of the litigation from investigations, pleadings, pre-trial, trials, settlement (in case it is required), and appeal processes (if needed). These phases involve identifying witnesses, taking their statements, interviewing clients, drafting pleadings as well as negotiations. We take a thorough approach ensuring to leave no stones unturned in winning cases for our clients.

We also offer litigation support to small and medium-sized law firms handling personal injury, bankruptcy, and immigration matters. We become their own associate or legal assistant- without the obligations associated with employment contracts- of course. This service allows firms that may not yet have the capacity, in whichever form, to manage their workload, meet deadlines and deliver for their clients while allowing the team at DLS to not only learn, but also to network with the best of the legal fraternity. They also get to enjoy the flexibility to increase or reduce their ‘workforce’ based on their business and financial needs.

To lawyers or law firms, offer support in form of:

• paralegal and legal assistance services;
• Filings;
• legal research;
• legal drafting – whether from availed templates or from scratch based on a client’s guidelines;
• handling discovery, requests for interrogatories & admissions; and
• other related support the client may require. 

Because the support needed by different firms varies, we take time to understand our client’s needs, and agree on the extent and terms of our engagement before getting started.

Court matters

Locally, we act as defense counsel in criminal matters. We also represent clients in divorce cases, whether mutual or contested.  

Legal Research & Drafting

We create templates of different types of documents and offer legal research services to lawyers and non-lawyers.

For lawyers and law firms, in addition to litigation support, we conduct legal research ranging from case law & precedents, provisions of national/international laws, local/state laws, and administrative procedures, among others. For efficiency, we utilize a variety of legal research software and maintain an active PACER account.

For our clients, the research cuts across a variety of legal requirements and provisions, based on their specific needs. We find that it is particularly common in instances where one wishes to explore the legal terrain prior to setting up shop, relocating or even visiting a foreign country.

Business Consultation & Services

For business owners, legal services are a big requirement. For large and small businesses alike, certain legal hurdles must be scaled to ensure the smooth running of an enterprise. Technicalities such as employee contracts, incorporation, and copyright claims should be put in place. This is where our firm comes in, as we set up a proper framework for your brands and businesses to protect you from legal troubles. We have flexibility in plans to suit the unique needs of individual businesses, allowing you to choose one that works best for you.

We offer our clients in business or those aspiring to start their own businesses a wide range of services including:

• advise on the type of legal entity that would be best suited for their business model and the applicable laws, policies, and compliance requirements in their jurisdiction of choice;
• Companies and other legal entity registrations both locally and internationally;
• Advise on corporate structuring and re-structuring, corporate governance, and legal compliance requirements;
• Drafting, negotiating and review of a variety of contracts including shareholders’ agreements, partnership agreements, licensing agreements, lease agreements, employment contracts, share purchase agreements, and other business contracts; and
• Drafting of website terms and conditions, privacy policies, cookie policies, and SAAS agreements customized to your unique business needs.

• Getting all the information you need by researching legal provisions on such subjects as requirements for setting up a business & compliance, employment, intellectual property rights, citizenship, real estate ownership, the institution of suits, etc.

Intellectual Property Rights

At DLS, we understand the value of the intellectual property (IP) to your business, and the essential need to have it protected so you reap its maximum benefits and maintain your competitive edge in the market.

We are therefore dedicated to helping you protect the creations of your mind. We offer services in the filing, registration, and renewal of trademarks, copyright, patents, and industrial designs in different jurisdictions. We also craft agreements related to IP and IP rights assignments, transfers, and licensing. In the event of infringement, we advise on and issue DCMA takedowns.

Tech Support for Law Firm Management

The use of technology has helped many businesses better organize their work, improve quality, and boost productivity, hence efficiency and profitability.

We at DLS help law firms benefit from technology to increase efficiency in management and streamline their processes.

How? We advise and help them adopt software that is suitable for their needs. As they continue to grow and evolve, we are right there with them to help them adapt the software/solution to the changes. Presently, our go-to is Clio, a cloud-based legal practice management software that helps law firms manage core processes such as calendaring, document management, timekeeping, billing, client intake, and case management.
