Detail Solicitors is well regarded for Ayuli Jemide's expertise in public-private partnerships (PPP) and a current role advising on the Lagos state urban rail, which has greatly boosted the firm's profile. Jemide is working with SJ Berwin to advise the Lagos state transport authority on the $513 million (current valuation) 25 year concession for an urban railway. The project has not yet completed.
Another boost to the firm's profile saw Jemide lead a team to advise Sona Group on the sale of its entire equity stake in five breweries in Nigeria to Heineken International, marking the largest brewery M&A in Nigeria in which Jemide also advised on a complex pre-sale reorganisation of Sona. Jemide was also acting for the Federal Capital Development Authority on the $400 million development through PPP of the Katampe District, which encompasses roads, sewage system, water supply network and electrical distribution.
These were the high profile deals, but the firm was also active in other notable engagements. In one large capital markets deal, Ifeyinwa Azubike, Tosin Sofowora and Damilola Ogedengbe were advising the Delta State government on a $661 million infrastructure bond to finance a series of projects in Delta state.
Azubike also advised the trustees on Kaduna state government's $132 million infrastructure development bond. On the projects side, Azubike was acting on the transaction structure and legal and regulatory framework of Delta state's PPP for the construction of the $320 million Warri Industrial Business Park.
