BABAJIDE OGUNDIPE APPOINTED I.B.A VICE CHAIRMAN REPRESENTING AFRICAN REGION

Sofunde, Osakwe, Ogundipe & Belgore partner Babajide Ogundipe has been appointed Vice-Chairman, representing the African region, of the International Bar Associations Anti-Corruption Committee. This Committee, with members from all parts of the globe, plans to implement a series of activities that will capture the pace and complexity of this fast-developing area of the law.

The advent of the OECD, OAS, UN and AU anti-corruption conventions has brought about the enactment of new anti-corruption laws in scores of countries. Aggressive enforcement, including extraterritorial enforcement, of national laws and a wide range of anti-corruption initiatives have brought this issue to the forefront worldwide. More and more private practitioners are having to advise on anti-corruption issues and investigations, as in-house counsel seek to devise creative new compliance programmes. Sofunde, Osakwe, Ogundipe & Belgore continue to be Nigeria's leading firm in this practice area.
