It also addresses the growing importance of alternative dispute resolution in settling 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, faith and Nigeria’s plural legal system through contributions from various authors.
