Legal Precision.
African Reach.
Global Standards.

Centurion Law Group is a pan-African practice with offices in Malabo (Equatorial Guinea), Douala (Cameroon), and Johannesburg (South Africa). We advise clients across the African continent with particular depth in sub-Saharan and Central Africa, including markets relevant to the oil and gas sector. Our multi-jurisdictional reach allows us to provide cohesive legal support across borders without the complexity of managing multiple local firms.

We serve a broad range of corporate and institutional clients including multinational corporations, energy companies, private equity and investment funds, financial institutions, and government-linked entities operating across Africa. We are particularly well-positioned to support businesses entering the African market for the first time, as well as established operators seeking to expand, restructure, or resolve commercial disputes on the continent.

We offer flexible fee arrangements tailored to the nature and scope of each engagement. Depending on the matter, this may include fixed retainer fees for outsourced legal representation, hourly billing for advisory and transactional work, or project-based pricing for defined mandates such as contract negotiation or regulatory filings. We provide transparent fee proposals at the outset of every engagement so there are no surprises. Please contact us directly at info@centurionlawfirm.com to discuss fee options for your specific matter.

Strict confidentiality is a foundational principle of our practice. All client information, documents, and communications are treated as legally privileged and protected under professional attorney-client privilege in all jurisdictions in which we operate. We maintain robust internal protocols to prevent unauthorised access or disclosure, and our teams are trained to handle commercially sensitive matters — including oil and gas negotiations, anti-corruption investigations, and M&A transactions — with the highest degree of discretion.

To make your initial consultation as productive as possible, we recommend bringing a brief overview of your business or investment objectives, any relevant existing contracts, licences, or corporate documentation, and a clear description of the legal matter or challenge you are facing. For oil and gas matters, production-sharing agreements, concession terms, or regulatory correspondence are especially useful. The more context you can share, the more targeted and actionable our initial advice will be.

Yes. Arbitration and commercial litigation is one of our core practice areas. We represent clients in international arbitration proceedings, including disputes arising from energy contracts, joint venture agreements, and cross-border commercial transactions. Our team has experience with major institutional arbitration frameworks commonly used in African disputes. We also provide strategic advisory on dispute avoidance through robust contract drafting and negotiation — reducing the likelihood of costly litigation before it arises.
