Banking, Corporate Finance, Capital Markets & Insurance Legal Services
This Group renders general banking and insurance law advice, banking and insurance regulatory advice and represents clients engaged in capital markets and other corporate finance transactions.
Solicitors from the firm have acted for insurance industry groups in dealings with the apex regulatory body - the National Insurance Commission, and for individual insurance companies, commercial and investment banks, trustees, lenders and borrowers in a wide variety of transactions.
As Nigerian companies are beginning to consider raising funds internationally, we are particularly well placed to support due diligence surveys of such companies on behalf of international lenders and their advisers. We are also well placed to advise our clients on structuring syndicated loans involving both international and local lenders as well as produce the necessary transaction documentation that would adequately protect our clients' interests in this regard. These services are also available in acquisitions involving Nigerian companies. In this regard, members of the Group have worked closely with other departments, especially infrastructure and natural resources, to support clients on projects such as green field natural gas utilization projects.
