Overview
How we assist
Petroleum and commercial tax regimes reward careful structuring and punish informal documentation. We advise operators and investors on planning, compliance and controversy across Nigerian and United Kingdom fiscal interfaces.

FAQ
Questions on Taxation
Yes. Petroleum-linked tax, including controversy around assessments, is a core part of the practice alongside general commercial tax advice.
We advise on audit response, information requests and the strategy for any subsequent assessment, including appeal pathways.
We advise at the interface of both jurisdictions. Where specialist UK tax counsel is required for a discrete issue, we coordinate so the client still has one commercial picture.
