Templars’ Partner, Ijeoma Uju, featured in Capital Markets Publication INTO AFRICA providing insights to identifying and managing risks of doing business in Nigeria

Over the past few years, African economies have increasingly been an essential part of any expansion strategy as corporate leaders and fund managers under constant pressure to maximize returns and put capital to work. Although, African markets offer a wealth of investment opportunities, this landscape also presents a number of challenges and risks for foreign entities, such as potential fraud and corruption, difficulties acquiring accurate financial information, ownership and governance practices, and regulatory and legal issues. Furthermore, political turmoil, the risk of a widening budget deficit, a weakening currency and the prospect of a credit downgrade usually put investors off African markets.

This results from the breadth of experience resident in its highly ranked Corporate & Commercial practice which continues to deliver responsive, innovative and practical legal solutions to clients.
