Overview

The practice

Engage on this matter

Technology and data have become regulated matters in their own right. The Nigeria Data Protection Act, the NCC's licensing framework for digital infrastructure, the CBN's perimeter for fintech and digital lending, and the emerging Nigerian framework for digital assets together form a complex regulatory landscape that touches almost every modern business. The firm advises across that landscape.
