Overview
Our energy practice covers the full lifecycle of oil and gas projects, power generation, renewable energy, and mining. We advise developers, investors, financiers, and governments on upstream, midstream, and downstream transactions.
We have been at the forefront of Nigeria's energy sector transformation following the Petroleum Industry Act (PIA), advising on upstream licensing under the Nigerian Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Commission (NUPRC), midstream and downstream compliance with the Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority (NMDPRA), and the development of renewable energy projects across the continent. Our team navigates the intersection of technical, regulatory, and commercial complexity that defines the energy sector.
Our Approach
Regulatory Expertise
We provide timely guidance on Nigerian Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Commission (NUPRC) and Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority (NMDPRA) frameworks, minimising licensing and compliance exposure.
Project Finance Structuring
We structure project finance arrangements for complex energy infrastructure, coordinating lender, sponsor, government, and offtake documentation across multiple jurisdictions.
Environmental & Community Compliance
We advise on environmental impact assessments, host community development agreements, and sustainability requirements under the Petroleum Industry Act (PIA) and applicable legislation.
Dispute Resolution
We represent energy companies in production sharing contract disputes, joint venture disagreements, and regulatory enforcement proceedings before Nigerian courts and international arbitral tribunals.
