Banking & Finance Sector Services

Our banking and finance practice is one of our core specialisations. We advise on matters as varied as syndicated and bilateral loans, structured finance, secured and unsecured facilities, acquisition finance, leasing, project finance, asset finance, development finance, global depositary receipts, escrow arrangements, debt restructuring, debt to equity conversions, Islamic banking, swaps and other derivative transactions.

We also assist with enforcement and dispute resolution and devising solutions to the challenges posed by regulatory and policy changes in the dynamic landscape of the Nigerian banking and finance sectors. We were involved in eight mergers in the last consolidation exercise between commercial banks and we advise on acquisitions and recapitalisation exercises deriving from CBN regulation.
