Our clients benefit from our expertise even with the most difficult tax planning. We are a top tax team in Nigeria, and we have in-depth knowledge of the business and legal intricacies of Nigerian and international business and taxation. Our tax advisory team provides forward-thinking solutions for transactional matters, including mergers and acquisitions, private equity, and project finance, as well as family and estate planning, real estate, executive compensation, dispute resolution and investigative matters.
