Finance and Tax

We document the money — and we make sure the tax position is one you can defend. Nigeria's tax regime was rebuilt from the ground up with effect from 1 January 2026, and almost every business will need to revisit assumptions it has held for years.

  • Lending and security. Facility agreements, syndicated and cross-border loans, security documents, perfection and registration, and lender legal opinions.

  • Corporate and structured finance. Project, asset-based and construction finance, sale and leaseback, securitised lending, hedging arrangements and trade finance.

  • Financial services regulation. Licensing and continuing compliance for banks, other financial institutions, payment service providers and non-interest finance operators.

  • Capital markets. Offers, bonds, listings, fund and operator registration, disclosure obligations, and the licensing of digital asset businesses now within the SEC's perimeter.

  • Insurance and pensions. Regulatory advice, capital and licensing matters, policy and reinsurance documentation, coverage disputes, and employer pension compliance.

  • Tax advisory and planning. Transaction structuring, cross-border and treaty questions, transfer pricing, permanent establishment analysis, and transition planning under the new regime.

  • Tax compliance and disputes. Returns, Tax Clearance Certificates, refunds, audits and investigations, objections, and appeals before the Tax Appeal Tribunal and the courts.
