The Centurion Law Group has opened its latest branch in Cameroon in a bid to continue its pan-African expansion.A statement made available to CEOAfirca revealed that the new office is expected to present to clients a range of services in all its practice areas, including arbitration and commercial litigation, corporate and finance law, labor and employment, and oil and gas.
The CEO of Centurion Law Group, NJ Ayuk said: "Centurion Law Group's entry into Cameroon is representative of our firm's Africa-wide growth strategy.
"Our aggressive entry is to serve the CEMAC community and signifies our continued growth in the region, thanks to our loyal energy industry and corporate clients. We have come to serve our oil and gas clients, who are presently operating here or seek to enter the market. As in our other markets, we endeavour to create an enabling business environment and promote the rule of law."
The statement also explained that following years of systemic production declines, Cameroon enjoyed an increase in oil output in 2014. “The market is benefiting from a new gas law and a 2014 licensing round that attracted major interest from foreign players. A ramp up in gas production has freed
up plentiful reserves for investments in industrialization and electricity generation. Oil and gas are once again the cornerstones for growth in Central Africa's largest economy,” it read.
