The global energy industry is in transition. . . so is our firm!

Since the establishment of ADVISORY Legal Consultants in 2012, the firm has been providing a specialised legal service to Nigeria’s energy and natural resources sectors. Some of our pioneering assignments include advising on the development of a Network Code that will provide for competitive access into the West African Gas Pipeline; a ground-breaking template Gas Development Agreement which will unlock gas resources discovered by production sharing contractors in several oil mining leases in Nigeria; the largest methanol project on the continent; the first crude oil terminal to be privately developed in Nigeria; a tolling gas pipeline and processing project, gas distribution projects and, electricity generation projects.

We are also proud of our contributions to the petroleum sector and the wider economy. In particular, ‘Gbite Adeniji, our Managing Partner, is well known for his significant contributions in the development of policy legal and commercial frameworks for Nigeria’s oil, gas and mining sectors. These include the development of Nigeria’s National Petroleum Policy and National Gas Policy, the development of the Gas Flare Commercialization Programme, pursuant to Nigeria’s climate impact (COP21) commitments, advising on various versions of the Petroleum Industry Bill, the preparation of the Flare Gas (Prevention of Waste and Pollution) Regulations 2018, the National Domestic Gas Supply & Pricing Policy and implementing Regulations, the Downstream Gas Bill and the commercial agreements used for supply of gas in the domestic market today.

Our body of work has yielded a cohesive team of authentic energy and natural resources lawyers who engage on a daily basis with clients in our focal sectors. We believe this is why we have been described as:

“A rare specialist in a market heavily saturated by full service firms”
IFLR1000

“Extremely responsive, timely and on point! Expert in their domain”
Project Finance Client in IFLR1000

“Pioneering work on major gas infrastructure projects that are firsts in West Africa.”
Chambers Global

However, the global petroleum, electricity and mining sectors are in transition, and so is our firm.

We are proud to announce that effective June 1, 2021 our brand name and corporate identity will change from ADVISORY Legal Consultants to:

Our new identity has been designed to acknowledge the fundamental shifts in process within the Energy and Natural Resources sectors and to acknowledge our deepening specialisation as lawyers focused on providing advisory services to clients in these sectors. Thus, ENR Advisory represents an evolution from our origins whilst connecting with the exciting opportunities ahead of us in a post – PIB, energy transition and renewable energy era

The change of name will not involve any modifications to our culture or the quality of the services that we provide – except that we commit to providing even better quality and more value – added service to our clients.
