every region.

With his election, Oladosu becomes the first Nigeria-qualified
lawyer to be elected to the global partnership of a Magic Circle

A statement issued by the firm disclosed that his election was
being celebrated across the industry as yet another example of a
Nigerian excelling at the highest professional level on the global
stage.

Nigerian Law School.
He was called to the Nigerian bar and was subsequently admitted as
a solicitor in England & Wales.

African continent and is based in the firm’s London office.

Chance’s practice in Anglophone West Africa.

His experience includes advising on some of the most complex and
market-leading transactions in the region, including advising the
sponsors of the Azura power plant project in Nigeria and the
lenders to the Tema LNG project in Ghana.

In a statement released by Clifford Chance, its Regional
Managing Partner for Africa, Mr. Anthony Giustini, extended his
congratulations to Oladosu.

exceptional legal expertise and business acumen and illustrated the
