About Us

We advise energy companies, financiers, and regulators on the full spectrum of legal and commercial issues in the oil & gas, power, and renewable energy sectors. From upstream exploration agreements to downstream licensing and compliance, we structure transactions that align with both regulatory requirements and commercial imperatives. Our work in this space includes advising multinational oil companies on regulatory compliance for deepwater exploration projects and guiding international renewable energy firms on structuring joint ventures for large-scale solar power installations.

We work closely with governments, private investors, and multilateral agencies to structure, negotiate, and implement large-scale infrastructure projects across Nigeria. Whether it’s road networks, ports, railways, or energy infrastructure, we ensure that projects are legally sound, commercially viable, and compliant with regulatory frameworks. Our experience includes negotiating concession agreements for public-private partnership (PPP) toll road projects and advising state governments on the legal frameworks for developing international airports under build-operate-transfer (BOT) models.

We provide strategic corporate advisory services to businesses at every stage of their lifecycle, from incorporation and structuring to expansion and restructuring. Our work covers corporate governance, joint ventures, shareholder agreements, and commercial contracts. We have led corporate restructuring efforts for multinational FMCG companies, ensuring compliance with Nigerian corporate regulations, and have negotiated multi-million-dollar commercial agreements for some of Africa’s leading tech startups, securing investor interests while ensuring regulatory alignment.

We advise on the structuring, negotiation, and execution of mergers, acquisitions, and private equity transactions, ensuring seamless transitions and compliance with regulatory requirements. Our team has worked on cross-border acquisitions involving entities across multiple jurisdictions and has guided private equity firms through high-value investments, such as the $200 million acquisition of a leading Nigerian fintech company. From due diligence to regulatory approvals, we ensure that every deal is strategically structured to protect our clients' interests.

We support startups, tech companies, and digital businesses with legal guidance on venture capital investments, intellectual property protection, and regulatory compliance. In the fast-evolving fintech sector, we have helped companies navigate CBN licensing requirements for digital banking operations. Our expertise also extends to the media and entertainment industry, where we have structured licensing agreements and digital rights management frameworks for content streaming platforms, ensuring legal protection while fostering innovation.

We provide regulatory and transactional support to banks, financial institutions, and fintech companies, helping them navigate compliance, loan structuring, debt financing, and capital markets transactions. Our work includes advising top-tier commercial banks on anti-money laundering (AML) frameworks and risk management protocols, as well as structuring syndicated loan facilities for major Nigerian conglomerates. Whether it’s navigating securities regulations or optimizing financial product structures, we ensure that our clients operate within legal and regulatory boundaries while maximizing commercial opportunities.

We help foreign investors establish and expand their operations in Nigeria by ensuring seamless market entry, regulatory approvals, and compliance with foreign exchange controls. From business incorporation to expatriate quotas, we provide the legal frameworks that support long-term investments. Our experience includes securing regulatory approvals for Fortune 500 companies entering the Nigerian market and advising multinational real estate developers on land acquisition and foreign investment regulations for large-scale urban development projects.

We represent clients in high-stakes commercial disputes, arbitration, and mediation, ensuring that their business interests are protected both in and out of court. Our litigation team has successfully handled disputes across energy, infrastructure, and finance sectors, including securing favorable arbitration outcomes in multi-million-dollar oil and gas disputes and defending Nigerian banks in high-profile regulatory enforcement actions. Whether through litigation or alternative dispute resolution, we craft legal strategies that minimize risk and maximize outcomes.
