About the firm

Counsel built for consequential decisions

Hephzibah Legal Consult was founded on the belief that serious legal work does not require a large firm — it requires preparation, judgment, and availability.

Our story

A firm built on experience

(Ms.) Ogubuike Udonna was called to the Nigerian Bar in 2007. Over the next decade, he practised across multiple law firms, handling complex commercial, civil, and family matters for individuals and businesses. That breadth of experience — working with partners in different fields — gave her a deep appreciation for what clients truly need: clear advice, prompt action, and personal accountability.

In 2019, she founded Hephzibah Legal Consult to put that insight into practice. The firm is deliberately small, taking on a limited number of matters so that every client receives the full attention of the principal counsel. We are based in Abuja, FCT, but serve clients across Nigeria, often for many years and across generations.

Today, we advise on civil and criminal litigation, matrimonial issues, corporate governance, insolvency, real estate, probate, and regulatory compliance – all under one roof, with one point of contact, and one standard of preparation.

How we practice

Four commitments we do not negotiate

  • Founder‑led, always

    You work directly with (Ms.) Ogubuike Udonna – called to the Bar in 2007 and with over 17 years of legal practice. Every document and strategy is her personal work.

  • Plain language

    Advice and agreements written so that you, your team, and your successors can read them without a legal dictionary.

  • Priced before started

    A written scope and fee before any substantive work begins. Surprises belong in litigation, not on invoices.

  • Deliberately small

    We take on a limited number of matters to ensure depth, availability, and the preparation that clients deserve.
