Regulatory / Government Relations

Our insight into the workings of the machinery of the government affords our lawyers the ability to provide accurate advice to our clients while leveraging this in our relations with the government at all levels and its agencies.

We offer advisory services to local and foreign clients on business entry requirements in Nigeria. Our services cover advice in the following areas: Compliance Procedure and Practice, Licences and Permits, Products Registration, and Relationship with Government Agencies including the Corporate Affairs Commission, Securities and Exchange Commission, Nigerian Stock Exchange, Central Bank of Nigeria, Standard Organisation of Nigeria, Department of Petroleum Resources, Environmental Protection Agency, National Investment Promotion Commission and Stamp Duties Commissioners.

Our experiences in this area include the registration of several Products and Brands with NAFDAC and several other governmental regulatory relations.
