Similarly, Insolvency Law in Nigeria: Practice and Procedure explores the legal framework governing corporate rescue, restructuring and insolvency proceedings under the Companies and Allied Matters Act 2020.
Arbitration Law and Practice in Nigeria examines Nigeria’s arbitration framework, with particular attention to the Arbitration and Mediation Act 2023 and the enforcement of arbitral awards. It also addresses the growing importance of alternative dispute resolution in resolving commercial disputes.
Beyond these practice-oriented publications, Defining Moments: Chronicles of a Silk (Volume One) chronicles Pinheiro’s professional journey and experiences in the legal profession.
The Compendium features scholarly essays by legal practitioners and academics, while MULAN Legal: Trending Issues of Law and Faith – Essays in Honour of ‘Kemi Pinheiro, SAN examines the intersection of law and faith within Nigeria’s plural legal system through contributions from various authors.
