PRIVATISATION & PROJECT FINANCE

Owing to the recent deregulation of conventional state owned interests all over Africa, the firm has been able to garner a great deal of knowledge and expertise from Nigeria's privatization experience.

Consequently, Counsel in this unit of the firm has become quite conversant with the distinct requirements of public sector clients. Again, the firm's good working relationships with the relevant regulatory authorities goes a long way in ensuring that clients' interests are efficiently and expediently catered to.

Indeed the firm has acted as Solicitors to companies which have already been privatised in the first phase of the nation's privatisation exercise, particularly in the downstream oil and gas sector. Additionally, the firm has been part of various consortia in respect of telecommunications,power and electricity generation and aviation industries and is consequently quite conversant with preparing the various specialized documents and contracts required regarding privatisation and deregulation, such as EOI's, Technical and Financial proposals, Memoranda of Agreement etc.

The relevant counsel dealing with privatisation projects in the firm have as a result become quite conversant with administering due diligence questionnaires, preparing reports on the findings and giving legal advise on every aspect of the exercise,as well as reviewing terms and conditions of material contracts.
