Offshore diving and Marine Contracting

Our Offshore Diving & Marine Contracting Practice provides specialised legal support to businesses operating across Nigeria’s offshore, subsea, marine construction, and underwater services sectors. We advise contractors, operators, vessel owners, project developers, service providers, and other stakeholders on the legal and commercial complexities associated with offshore and marine projects.

Our practice covers the structuring, drafting, review, and negotiation of marine and offshore contracts, including diving service agreements, vessel and equipment hire, subsea construction, inspection and maintenance contracts, engineering and procurement arrangements, and other project-related agreements. We also advise on contractual risk allocation, liability, indemnities, insurance, performance obligations, delays, variations, and dispute resolution.

We assist clients in navigating the regulatory and operational requirements applicable to offshore activities, while helping them manage project risks and maintain contractual compliance. Where disputes arise, our team provides strategic representation and dispute resolution support, with a focus on protecting our clients’ commercial interests and minimising operational disruption.

With an understanding of the technical, commercial, and regulatory dimensions of offshore operations, we deliver practical legal solutions designed to support projects from inception through execution and completion.
