ABOUT G. ELIAS

We were founded in 1994 and have become one of Nigeria’s leading business law firms. We have always had an international outlook. We have a reputation for, and an outstanding record of, carrying out critical, innovative and complex work to the highest standards of excellence.

We have advised and represented our clients on several of the most significant recent developments in Nigerian business law practice. We do corporate, financial, disputes, tax, energy, projects, commerce and "NewEconomy" law work for businesses. We also advise private clients and governmental organizations.

Our corporate work includes mergers and acquisitions, compliance, private equity and employment practices. Banking, capital markets, derivatives and structured products and insolvency law are central elements in our finance practices.Our disputes practices include litigation, arbitration and administrative hearings.

Our energy sectors are the oil-and-gas and electric power sectors. The real estate, transport and other infrastructure, construction and mining sectors are at the heart of our projects work. We engagein both traditional commerce and “"new economy"” practices.

​Our commerce law work is on trade competition law, raw materials, manufactured goods, cross-border trade, transport and other services. The “NewEconomy” sectors are intellectual property, telecommunications and technology, media and entertainment.

Our clients in these practices and sectors are of many nationalities and every size. They range from dominant global multinational enterprises to ambitious, home-grown fledglings, from government-controlled enterprises (we have advised on numerous privatizations) to companies controlled entirely by private sector actors.

We have and maintain complementary contacts in Nigerian business and government circles, and with law firms and lawyers’ organizations based both in and outside Nigeria. We are members of Multilaw, a leading global alliance of independent law firms with offices in 100 countries, over 11,000 lawyers and an aggregate of more than USD6bn in revenues.
