Dentons to secure coveted Nigeria presence with ACAS-Law combination
01 April 2021
Global giant says deal is key landmark in strategy to become pan-African firm
Lagos Tayvay; Shutterstock Dentons has agreed to combine with Nigerian practice Adepetun Caxton-Martins Agbor & Segun (ACAS-Law) to become only the second global law firm with a presence in Africa’s largest economy. The deal has been announced on the 30th anniversary of ACAS-Law, which is best known for its oil and gas practice but operates as a full-service firm. It has seven partners and 52 lawyers working out of offices in Lagos, Abuja and Port Harcourt. Dentons said the combination would be the first of its kind Nigeria, formalising a long-standing relationship between the two firms. The only comparable deal to date was secured in 2017 by DLA Piper, which added Olajide Oyewole to its African alliance, DLA Piper Africa, which, like Dentons Group, operates as a Swiss Verein made up of independent firms.
