Representing one of West Africa’s most experienced legal advisory teams, Ojogbo is expected to offer insight into navigating multi-jurisdictional regulations across Mauritania, Senegal, The Gambia, Guinea-Bissau and Guinea-Conakry. CLG is recognized for advising clients on the Greater Tortue Ahmeyim LNG development, supporting licensing, permitting, fiscal compliance and cross-border regulatory alignment between Senegal and Mauritania. The firm also provides guidance on energy generation, transmission and distribution licensing; tax and customs regimes; and national procurement frameworks that shape major upstream and midstream investments.
Meanwhile, Geni & Kebe – a Senegal-based legal firm – served as legal advisors during Senegal’s first offshore oil discovery, supporting the Cairn Energy-ConocoPhillips-FAR Limited joint venture. The firm also advises on Senegal’s largest-ever power generation initiatives, including the 120 MW Malicounda thermal power plant, and acted as lenders’ counsel for the Taiba N’Diaye wind farm, the country’s flagship utility-scale renewable project.
Bioko Consulting – a firm actively structuring high-impact projects in Equatorial Guinea and West Africa – has supported development linked to the Bioko Oil Terminal, as well as upstream exploration, midstream storage and downstream refining initiatives. The company’s partnerships with institutions such as KAI Asia, ADIB and CapitalPay International demonstrate its role in aligning legal, financial and technical planning to unlock investment-ready energy and mining projects.
“Legal certainty, regulatory depth and structured partnerships are the backbone of energy investment in the MSGBC basin. These leading consultants and advisors have shaped many of the region’s most significant oil, gas and power developments, and their insights will be invaluable to investors,” states Sandra Jeque, Events and Project Director, Energy Capital & Power.
