Energy
We provide a full spectrum of legal support to a diverse range of clients in the Nigerian power sector including governments, project proponents, investors, financial institutions, operators, suppliers and regulators.
The Firm’s involvement in the power sector predates the restructuring of Nigeria’s power sector.

Owing to Nigeria’s significant solid mineral deposits and reserves, and an increased government focus on mining, the Firm has developed a consistent culture of forward-thinking and pioneering expertise dedicated to mining.
