About
An Abuja firm for projects on the ground
Dealtran Legal is a Nigerian law and advisory firm based at 5 Kwaji Close, Maitama, Abuja. We advise investors, developers, companies and public bodies on the legal, land, community and regulatory work behind projects in Nigeria, and on the transactions, financing and disputes that go with them.
We concentrate on mining and solid minerals, carbon markets and climate finance, and the community, land and local representation work that connects them with energy and infrastructure. We also advise on market entry, corporate and commercial matters, project finance, public policy, disputes, technology and real estate.
How we work
- Clear scope. Every engagement starts with a written scope, timetable and fee.
- Direct access. The principal leads each matter and is your point of contact.
- Documents that travel. We write advice and agreements that can be shared with boards, lenders, buyers and regulators.
- On the record. Our regulatory work is formal: filings, meetings and written correspondence.
- Fee principles. Fixed, capped or time-based fees agreed in advance. No fees that depend on a government approval.
