In the area of  Oil and Gas we were appointed legal advisers to the Government of Akwa Ibom State and all the oil producing communities in Akwa Ibom State to present the memorandum before the Justice Belgore Panel set up to look into the causes of disturbances in oil producing communities in Nigeria in 1992.  In that capacity we reviewed all Memoranda presented by the oil producing companies, oil marketing companies, oil servicing companies, NNPC, PPMS, DPMS and other interested parties.  We led evidence of witnesses before the Panel, cross-examined witnesses and presented  an address on behalf of the Akwa Ibom State and its Oil producing communities. We were also part of the defence team for Akwa Ibom State in the celebrated “Resource Control” case at the Supreme Court of Nigeria.

We have in the past years carried out numerous assignments involving legal advise, legal opinion, litigation review of agreements and other documentation on behalf of Mobil Producing Nigeria Unlimited (the Nigerian subsidiary of Exxon-Mobil), African Petroleum Company Plc., Unipetrol Nigeria Plc. (now Oando Plc.), and Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation. Our firm is currently promoting South Coast Petroleum Services Ltd., a company established in Akwa Ibom State of Nigeria, to participate in the downstream sector of Nigeria’s oil industry.
