When we set out to build Balogun Harold, we had a distinct vision of client success, which we aimed to achieve through (a) a partnership of experienced lawyers who would have already built strong practices in one or more of our core areas of expertise; (b) a partnership of experienced lawyers with a deep functional knowledge of the core markets & sectors where clients play; (c) a partnership of experienced lawyers united by a commitment to hard work, integrity, candor, exceptionalism and continuous education; and (d) a Partner-led law practice, meaning that, all transactions and legal requests will be attended to primarily by one of our Partners from start to finish.

We have stayed true to our approach. Today, the clients we have worked with regard us as one of the best market-facing boutique law firms for investors & promoters deploying capital in Africa. Indeed, other than our exceptional mastery of the law informed by continuous education, what has distinguished us as a Firm is a deep, functional understanding of the markets in which our clients play and of the impact of government policy and regulation in those markets.

Our ability to respond quickly to client instructions as well as our ability to simplify and cut through complex legal issues is also demonstrably unparalleled. Today, many of the legal opinions we issue, are “second” legal opinions.  This would typically be the case where a client is not satisfied with or does not agree with a legal opinion, they received from another law firm.

Our core mission remains that of helping our clients to meet their strategic and financial goals in a timely manner to the extent possible through sound legal advice, advocacy, and excellent documentation.

I invite you to consider Balogun Harold for your next transaction.

Yours truly,

Olu Abayomi-Olukunle
