At Jurislaw, we understand the difficulty faced by businesses and other entities in navigating through regulatory and licensing requirements put in place by various government agencies and sector regulators. We assist in making this process easier and more productive. Our lawyers have considerable experience in handling claims from Government Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs) and advising on the validity and appropriate steps to be taken in complying with demand notices from various Federal, State and Local Government agencies. We support our Clients in applications to government and quasi government agencies for licences, consents and approvals required by our Clients for their operations and in their acquisition of proprietary rights. We respond on behalf of our Clients to claims arising from action by regulators and assist in preparing objections and challenges to various demands for rates, levies and charges emanating from their operations.
We also have provided and still provide support to sector regulators in formulating regulations in those sectors. Since the onset of the Third Republic, the two arms of the Nigerian Parliament have consistently conducted hearings into various sectors of the Nigerian Economy. We have provided support to clients prior to and post these hearings. Due to the importance of host community relations to the success of any project within those communities, we have over the years garnered considerable experience in local community related issues. We have assisted in negotiations with communities and provide legal support to Clients in this vital area.
