Paul Usoro, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN) and Senior Partner who is widely acknowledged as Nigeria’s foremost Communications Law authority and specialist and, a most renowned and knowledgeable litigator, leads the firm. Under him, the firm continues to have very strong and vibrant Advocacy and Communications Practice Groups.
The latter has played critical and decisive roles in literally all the landmark and ground-breaking Nigerian communications matters, both before and after the liberalisation of the industry in 1992.
Paul Usoro & Co, PUC, is unarguably Nigeria’s foremost Communications Law firm. PUC’s Communications Practice began in 1985 when it was appointed as one of the pioneer external counsels to the then newly incorporated Nigerian Telecommunications Limited NITEL. Over time, PUC became the law firm of choice for NITEL, among others, for its core communications assignments.
With the enactment of the Nigerian Communications Commission Decree No. 75 of 1992 and subsequent liberalisation of the telecommunications industry, PUC started providing services to the new private sector communications companies and was later approached for services by the Nigerian Communications Commission, NCC, the industry regulator. With that, the firm became identified as primary advisers in most of the reform activities that have taken place in the sector notably from 1999 to date.
