Practice Areas

Telecommunications

Having acted as retained lawyers to Nigeria’s pioneer private telecommunications company, we have in-depth knowledge of the industry and the applicable laws and regulations. We are well aware of the issues confronting private telecommunications organizations and the telecommunications industry.

We have advised on various transactions in the sector and continue to provide legal advisory services on regulatory, intellectual property, interconnection issues, corporate and licensing issues. We also provide advice on financing issues and the appropriate structure for projects in the industry.

The Nigerian Communications Act promotes the use of Alternative Dispute Resolution for the resolution of disputes in the sector between operators, subscribers or any other person involved in the communications industry.  We are specialized Arbitrators and ADR resolvers and can advise on all aspects of the use of arbitration and ADR.

We acted as legal consultants to the Nigerian Communications Commission, Nigeria’s telecommunications regulator with the mandate to establish the industry’s arbitration and Alternative Dispute Resolution scheme.
