We are thrilled to share that Transadvisory Legal won the Real Estate and Construction Team of the Year Award at the 2025 ESQ Nigerian Legal Awards. In addition, the firm’s Managing Partner, Rilwan Idris, walked away with two individual honours; Managing Partner of the Year (Small Practice) and Rising Star – 40 Under 40.

Real Estate and Construction Team of the Year Award recognises and celebrates law‑firm practice groups that have delivered exceptional, high‑impact work in real‑estate development, infrastructure, and construction projects over the past 18 months. The recognition shows the depth and complexity of transactions we have advised our clients on. The award is an attestation that the firm’s team has clearly set itself apart for its ability to navigate Nigeria’s challenging real estate and construction landscape, delivering deals that drive economic growth and set industry standards.

Furthermore, the award of the Managing Partner of the Year (Small Practice) won by our Rilwan Idris spotlights a leader who has shown outstanding vision, business development, and client‑relationship skills. It is a recognition that he has not only steered Transadvisory Legal to commercial success but has also built a culture of excellence and innovation in a boutique environment, earning the confidence of both clients and peers.

The Nigerian Rising Stars: 40 Under 40 category, a core pillar of the ESQ Awards, highlights young legal professionals under 40 who demonstrate remarkable promise, leadership, and impact early in their careers. What it says about Rilwan Idris? Even while leading a firm, he continues to be a standout performer in his generation, embodying the next wave of legal talent that will shape Nigeria’s business landscape. His recognition as a Rising Star, 40 Under 40 translate into trust for clients seeking seasoned expertise combined with fresh, innovative thinking.

Congratulations to the entire Transadvisory Legal team and to our Managing Partner, for these well‑deserved recognitions!
