The area where members of the partnership have gained experience from previous work include:

Most recently we acted as solicitors in right issue of Hallmark Bank Plc in 2002 and also participated as solicitor in the First Aluminum Plc public issue in 2002. We obtained all the necessary Certified True Copies of the bank's documents as required by Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) from Corporate Affairs Commission (C.A.C), prepared / drafted resolutions to convert from private to public Company and filed same at the CAC. Attended All Parties Meetings to arrange and supervise the issue, followed up at SEC. Attended the Completion Board Meeting and filed the prospectus there after at the CAC.

* Solicitors to the ongoing private placement of Magnum Trust Bank Plc shares.

* Some members of our team were members of a law firm which by 1995 was not only the oldest in Nigeria but structured and handled the first scheme of arrangement and the first public issue of shares. We therefore have the added advantage of an extensive precedents base resource.
