South Africa based Centurion Law Group, an energy advisory firm, is set to become the first African legal energy advisory firm to be publicly listed on Europe’s leading stock exchange this year.
The law firm announced this in a statement copied to energynewsafrica.com.
The feat would represent a natural step for Centurion, given the group’s solid marker share within the oil and gas sector in sub-Saharan Africa and its increased activity.
Last year, the statement said Centurion engaged the services of IMANI-African lawyers on demand to establish Centurion Plus, as Africa’s leading flexible legal services model that would offer cost savings and efficient flexible legal services across the continent.
Through Centurion Plus, corporate clients throughout the continent can select from a pool of about 190 thoroughly vetted, on-demand attorneys for temporary and project-based legal services.
According to the statement, NY Ayuk, CEO of Centurion, said: “Centurion has always differentiated itself by its ability to adapt to change, get the deal done and being pan-African and pro-African.
“The African legal market has changed a lot and we are proud to be a leader for legal transformations in Africa.
“We are looking forward at being listed in a few months and are truly excited about this new phase of growth for the company and our clients.”
