Disputes: Sectors
We have advised on arbitration over the bank financing of a real estate acquisition, the long-term hire of a fleet of marine vessels for the large-scale storage of refined petroleum products, an insurance claim for damage to oil pipelines, a dispute between a telecommunications company and its suppliers and on banking-related services.
To the best of our knowledge, the dispute on hiring marine vessels involves the largest-ever shipping law claim in the nation’s history, and one of the largest arbitrations ever.
We are also representing a global multinational oil company taxpayer in one of the largest-ever companies income tax cases in the sector. We represented leading tax accountants in appellate litigation over the tax powers of local governments under the Constitution.
We have successfully defended one of Nigeria’s oldest manufacturing groups in a dispute about the impact of value added tax legislation on intra-group transactions. We have also defended the same group in litigation initiated by investment bankers engaged by it in respect of a transaction for the offering of securities.
We are defending a global manufacturer of consumer products in the largest, most complex and most far-reaching series of products liability cases in Nigerian history, and potentially terminal to its Nigerian operations.
We are counsel to another global manufacturer of consumer products on what will be seminal litigation on the regulation of marketing campaigns for such products.
