Oneyka Cindy Ojogbo has officially been appointed Managing Partner of pan-African law firm CLG, effective January 2026. Ojogbo, a distinguished energy and finance attorney, now heads the firm’s operations across eight African jurisdictions, including South Africa, Nigeria, Ghana, Equatorial Guinea, Congo, Namibia, Senegal, Gabon, Cameroon, Mauritius and Libya, as well as its strategic European office in Germany. Her appointment reflects her exceptional leadership, deep sector expertise and proven ability to drive cross-border legal and business advisory services.
Ojogbo has hit the ground running in her new role, playing a central part in CLG’s expansion into North Africa. She personally oversaw the firm’s strategic collaboration with legal firm Zahaf & Partners in Libya, signed in January 2026, which combines CLG’s pan-African energy advisory experience with Zahaf & Partners’ deep local expertise. Together, the firms are providing legal, tax and regulatory advisory services for major energy and infrastructure projects.
Before stepping into the Managing Partner role, Ojogbo spearheaded CLG’s Centurion Plus operations in Frankfurt, Germany. Demonstrating her ability to innovate and expand CLG’s service model internationally, this “on-demand” legal platform provides agile, project-specific legal teams for multinational clients in Europe and Africa. She also led the firm’s pan-African Energy Transition Center, advising on renewable energy, low-carbon hydrogen and ESG strategies, helping governments and corporations align with global sustainability commitments.
Beyond the firm, Ojogbo brings her insight and expertise to the wider sector. She serves on the African Energy Chamber’s Advisory Board, where she contributes to regulatory and policy discussions shaping Africa’s energy future. Over her career, she has managed energy projects in more than 30 African countries, as well as Europe and North America, covering everything from gas value chains and multi-jurisdictional financing to strategic government advisory. She has also guided clients through complex production sharing contracts, joint operating agreements and regulatory compliance frameworks.
