Nigeria’s energy and natural resources sector remains a key driver of growth and investment, but it is also undergoing rapid transformation under new regulatory frameworks and global energy transition demands. Our Energy, Natural Resources and ESG practice provides clients with integrated legal, regulatory, and commercial advice across the full value chain—spanning oil and gas, power, mining, and renewables—while embedding environmental and sustainability considerations into every project.

We advise on upstream, midstream, and downstream oil and gas transactions, including licensing, joint ventures, production sharing contracts, and service agreements. Our team guides clients through compliance with the Petroleum Industry Act (PIA), local content laws, and environmental regulations, while balancing operational needs with stakeholder expectations.

In the power sector, we assist in project development, financing, and regulatory approvals across generation, transmission, and distribution. We also support renewable energy initiatives, particularly in solar, wind, and hydro projects, enabling clients to access opportunities in Nigeria’s evolving clean energy market.

Our mining practice covers exploration, licensing, and project development, with special focus on regulatory compliance, community relations, and environmental and social impact considerations. We regularly advise on land use, host community agreements, and sustainability strategies to ensure projects remain viable and socially responsible.

Central to our practice is environmental law and ESG advisory. We help clients design compliance frameworks for environmental impact assessments (EIA), emissions regulations, waste management, and occupational health and safety. We also advise boards and investors on ESG reporting, sustainable finance, climate risk management, and stakeholder engagement. Whether structuring green bonds, meeting investor disclosure requirements, or aligning with global climate goals, we ensure our clients remain competitive and compliant in a shifting global market.

From negotiating complex cross-border energy contracts to defending regulatory enforcement actions, our team combines sector-specific expertise with a practical understanding of Nigeria’s regulatory landscape. We work closely with regulators such as the Nigerian Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Commission (NUPRC), Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority (NMDPRA), Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC), Mining Cadastre Office, and environmental agencies to secure approvals and manage compliance.

Our goal is clear: to help clients unlock value in energy and natural resources while navigating the realities of transition, sustainability, and responsible investment.
