Comprising white collar crime and regulatory defense lawyers, dedicated investigative lawyers, and former government advisers, our multi-disciplinary team in Nigeria can deal with all kinds of investigations, in particular relating to audit inquiries, bribery and corruption, fraud, money laundering, market abuse, tax evasion and credit fraud.
Leveraging on the qualifications and experience of our lawyers in different jurisdictions, we are able to pursue investigations beyond the jurisdiction of instruction.
We manage complex domestic and cross-border investigations and asset recovery exercises.
Experience has included advising:
