Shoreline Energy International maintains a diversified portfolio in telecoms, energy and power, investment and trading, and infrastructure and engineering. The business is most known for its series of oil field investments in the Niger Delta, including through group company Shoreline Natural Resources, which owns a 45% participating interest in a major onshore oilfield located there.

In addition to their usual responsibilities, the legal team at Shoreline has to contend with problems arising from falling oil prices and the political situation around their oil fields, which have included local armed dissidents attacking and destroying their infrastructure.

Nevertheless, they have remained able to support the company in its responses to these challenges, which have included cost cutting measures and the scaling back of expansion efforts. Shoreline’s legal team combine their technical expertise with business acumen, with members of the legal team describing themselves as jointly legal and business professionals. This allows them exceptional versatility when advising the company on strategic issues.
