Corporate & Commercial Practice
Rotergenius S&A, with all sense of modesty, is pragmatic in the fields of Oil and Gas, Corporate Finance and Capital Markets, Taxation, Privatizations and Divestments, Land and Property Law, Intellectual Property, Employee Benefits, Acquisitions and Mergers, and Transnational Joint Ventures—all within the broad spectrum of commercial transactions.
Oil and Gas
These multifaceted projects typically require the provision of strategic advice on transactional matters relating to gas supply and utilization, engineering, procurement and construction (EPC), as well as the divestment of interests in hydrocarbon acreages.
We regularly advise numerous bidders involved in the acquisition of oil and gas assets divested by international oil corporations operating in Nigeria.
Our firm has also provided legal advisory services in connection with the financing of the acquisition of hydrocarbon assets, ensuring seamless and compliant transaction execution.

Mergers and Acquisition
Between 2010 and 2011, Rotergenius S&A’s Mergers and Acquisitions (M&A) Team was engaged by several prospective investors to conduct comprehensive legal due diligence reviews on all eight (8) banks involved in the recapitalization process.
The Team also acted as transaction counsel in two (2) of the four (4) successful mergers that emerged from the recapitalization exercise.
Against the backdrop of a highly competitive legal industry—and considering that these transactions relate solely to the banking sector—our significant involvement in the recapitalization process is a clear testament to our leading position in M&A legal practice in Nigeria.
Our ability to consistently deliver first-class legal services is anchored in our extensive expertise across multiple sectors, combined with a deep understanding of the complex issues and evolving challenges facing our clients.
