Overview
With several Nigeria based or Africa focused investment fund closes in the past few years, OAKE Legal’s lawyers have represented sponsor and investor clients on a wide range of investment activities. Our clients include fund sponsors, managers and investors on several activities and transactions. We have provided support on all aspects of institutional investing lifecycle – fund formation, structuring and operation, licensing and approvals, investment transaction and M&A and dispositions.
Combining our cross-sectoral experience in Nigeria with our partnerships in the usual jurisdictions for setting up investment structures for capital flows to Nigeria, we are very well placed to support investment managers attain their financial objectives whilst adapting to a tougher economic and regulatory regime.
