Nigeria’s financial services sector remains central to economic growth, investment and business development. As financial institutions respond to evolving regulatory requirements, increased competition, technological innovation, changing financing structures and market volatility, they need legal advisers who understand both the regulatory environment and the commercial realities of financial transactions.

At Summit Legal, our Financial Institutions, Banking & Finance team advises banks, financial institutions, development finance institutions, investment companies, fintech businesses, corporate borrowers, investors and other participants in the financial services sector. We support the full life-cycle of financial transactions, from initial structuring and negotiation through documentation, execution, monitoring, restructuring and enforcement.

Our practice covers a broad range of corporate and commercial financing, including corporate lending, acquisition finance, project finance, structured finance, asset finance and other forms of debt and investment financing. We advise lenders and borrowers on structuring, negotiating and documenting financing arrangements, with particular attention to security, repayment obligations, risk allocation and regulatory requirements.
