Building the foundations of economic growth. We advise government agencies, private developers, contractors and financiers on Nigeria's infrastructure development agenda — from power to roads, ports and public-private partnerships.
We advise on the structuring, financing, procurement and delivery of infrastructure projects — handling every legal dimension from concession agreement to completion.
We advise on the negotiation and drafting of PPP concession agreements — including BOT, BOO, BOOT and BRT structures. We advise both government contracting authorities and private concessionaries, and understand the risk allocation requirements of each party.
We advise IPPs, distribution companies, transmission companies and government entities on the Nigerian power sector — including power purchase agreements, grid connection arrangements, NBET contracts, MYTO tariff frameworks and NERC licensing and regulatory compliance.
We advise on EPC, EPCM, NEC and FIDIC contracts for infrastructure and power projects — including interface arrangements, performance security, variation claims, force majeure and the risk of contractor default or insolvency in long-duration construction projects.
We advise on the financing of infrastructure projects — including project finance documentation, intercreditor arrangements, security packages (including step-in rights and direct agreements), DFI and multilateral funding conditions and lender-side due diligence requirements.
We advise on risk allocation frameworks for infrastructure projects — including political risk, currency risk, demand risk, completion risk and regulatory change risk. Sound risk allocation is the foundation of a bankable, deliverable project; we help clients get it right.
We advise private developers on engagement with federal and state government — including viability gap funding applications, government support arrangements, land acquisition and resettlement obligations and inter-agency consent processes that affect project timelines.
We advise on transport infrastructure development — including toll road concessions, port expansion and PPP arrangements, airport privatisation and concession agreements. We understand the sector-specific regulatory frameworks governing each category of transport infrastructure.
We advise on water supply, wastewater treatment and utility infrastructure projects — including service delivery arrangements, tariff frameworks, operator agreements and the legal dimensions of state-level utility privatisation and PPP transactions.
