Technology, Media and Telecommunication

Overview

We advise technology companies, telecom operators, media businesses, and digital platforms on the complex legal issues at the intersection of law and technology, from regulatory licensing to emerging artificial intelligence governance.

As Nigeria's digital economy expands at pace, we are at the forefront of the legal challenges facing technology companies, telecommunications operators, media businesses, and digital platforms. We advise on licensing under the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) and National Broadcasting Commission (NBC) frameworks, fintech regulation from the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), and emerging artificial intelligence governance, data ethics, and platform regulation requirements.

Our Approach

Regulatory Licensing

We manage licensing applications and ongoing compliance with the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC), National Broadcasting Commission (NBC), Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), and other digital sector regulators.

Technology Contracts

We draft and negotiate software development agreements, SaaS contracts, platform terms of service, and technology transfer arrangements that protect our clients' commercial and intellectual property interests.

Fintech Compliance

We advise banks, fintechs, and payment service providers on Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) licensing, payment systems regulation, and digital banking and mobile money frameworks.

Artificial Intelligence & Emerging Technology
