We at Udo Udoma & Belo-Osagie are glad to announce that our work on the Nigerian elements of the landmark Universal Music Group/Mavin transaction was recognised with the M&A Impact Deal of the Year Award at the 2025 IFLR Africa Awards.
This groundbreaking deal—which represents a significant milestone for Africa’s music and entertainment industry—was selected for its far-reaching impact and the sophisticated legal framework that our team helped to facilitate to bring it to fruition as part of a cross border group of multidisciplinary advisers. The transaction has set a new benchmark for strategic cross-border investments in Africa’s creative sectors while enabling global partnership and growth opportunities.
This recognition highlights UUBO’s contributions to and facilitation of the intersection of law, business, and culture – demonstrating our ability to structure and support deals that not only deliver commercial value but also create meaningful impact across industries and communities.
