Winston & Strawn Recognized in IFLR1000 Guide to Energy & Infrastructure 2015

Winston & Strawn has been endorsed as a notable firm in the IFLR1000 Energy and Infrastructure: Sub-Saharan Africa Guide 2015 in the area of oil and gas. IFLR1000 provides tiered rankings of the leading financial and corporate law firms for different regions, markets, and practice areas, accompanied by analysis of the market trends and the business environment.

As the publication reports, the firm “scored a coup” in April 2014 with its role advising Nigeria’s SEPLAT Petroleum Development Company Plc on the dual listing of its shares in London and Lagos. The listing was a first in the capital markets and may set the stage for further listings from regional oil and gas players.

The guide states that the team, which includes Nicholas Usher, is positioned to handle projects governed by UK law in the natural resources and energy sectors, particularly when it comes to financing aspects.
