The COVID-19 pandemic affected world trade. The African economy which is a developing one has not been insulated from the effect of the resultant global meltdown.

Nevertheless, government intervention to ensure the survival of commercial and sector-specific institutions have also not been sufficient and as such, several commercial and financial institutions have taken a hit with the resultant negative effect on many of these institutions.

This department offers immeasurable support services to the sector, working with experienced solicitors in the sector to support clients through these periods. In particular, we provide legal support for the commercial and banking sectors on dispute resolution and enforcement, corporate and regulatory matters, strategic alliance, commercial litigation, transactions, finance, loan recovery, claims, etc.

As a commercial law firm, we offer in-depth sector experience legal services to our clients and key stakeholders, which have added and continue to add significant values to the growth of their businesses, while guiding them through the difficult terrain the economy is passing through.

Our clients range from top banks, established local and international companies and other corporate financial institutions, including multi-nationals.

Mr Gbenga Kushimo leads the team in the commercial & banking department and Mr Femi Atoyebi (SAN) exercises supervisory authority over the department. For more information on our commercial & banking expertise please contact Mr Gbenga Kushimo.
