Energy
In the oil and gas industry, the 'supermajors' continue to consolidate their global positions, strengthening their businesses up and down the value chain. Continuing liberalization in the energy sectors of our global economy has created new legal frameworks, resulting in greater competition and reduced prices for both businesses and consumers.

Meanwhile, in emerging regions such as Africa, historic under-investment in assets has increased the pressure to upgrade water and waste management facilities.  Our team is involved in advising our clients in different industries throughout the world on all aspects of these developments as they affect their businesses.

Mining in Ghana has been enjoying a spectacular revival in recent years .Our firm can rightfully claim a depth of knowledge and experience of the mining sector in Ghana and Africa which pre-dates the recent cycle change and corresponding sudden interest of various advisers for mining transactions.

Sey and Co has many years been involved in a wide range of exploration programs, strategic alliances, joint ventures and high profile mergers and acquisitions in relation to many global mining and exploration firms that operate in Ghana.

Banking
Sey & Co has a preeminent banking practice in Ghana. We have a long tradition of representing leading Ghanaian and non-Ghanaian banks in banking transactions of every kind, as well as in regulatory initiatives and legislation, enforcement actions, payment system issues, anti-money laundering and corporate governance issues.

In transactional matters, we have unparalleled experience in bank securities offerings, regularly deal with the disclosure issues facing banks, and have been involved in the development of many creative capital financings by banking organizations.

In matters involving regulatory or statutory interpretation, a substantial element of our success is our wide experience in dealing with the regulators themselves.
In bank regulatory matters, Sey & Co deals on a regular basis, and at all levels, with various bank regulatory agencies. We have represented banking clients in numerous matters.

Labor and Employment Litigation
Sey & Co provides comprehensive Labour and employment law services both to our regular corporate clients and to other clients who seek our specialized expertise. 

We have extensive experience representing employers in litigation concerning labour and employment matters, including those involving breach of contract, wrongful dismissal and discrimination.

We also advise clients on situations concerning particular employees and on general compliance with statutory regulations and other.
We further advise clients on employment restructuring and human resource issues.  In addition, we provide representation for clients with unionized workforces, including negotiation and administration of Labour contracts and representation of clients in Labour arbitrations and litigation.

Telecommunications
Sey & Co has assisted telecommunications and information technology investors and clients on the regulatory, legal and commercial aspects of their business ventures and on compliance with the vast array of rules promulgated by government agencies.

We have extensive experience in legal issues and entry into new telecommunications markets, and are able to identify business opportunities created by regulatory changes.

A special area of emphasis is representation of new entrants into new technology and use of wireless technology.  We represent clients regarding issues affecting their businesses, including day-to-day counseling on compliance with regulations, participation in policy-making proceedings, and strategies to enhance business opportunities in a complex and highly specialized legal and regulatory environment.

Mergers and Acquisitions  
The challenge of mergers, acquisitions, divestitures, joint ventures and strategic alliances is to ensure that the projected value in the deal is realized.

Every corporate transaction demands the right structure, careful risk analysis and forward planning to deliver value and convince the market that the deal makes sense. The anti-trust, regulatory and governance issues must be understood. The finance, tax, employment and intellectual property requirements must be aligned with the strategic objectives of the deal.

We offer unrivaled local expertise on all aspects of corporate transactions wherever they occur. Our approach is to work together seamlessly, coordinate complex global transactions successfully, satisfy regulatory requirements, prepare local documentation, advice on tax matters, assist in due diligence investigations and deliver the required legal opinions covering multiple jurisdictions.  This is an aspect of our practice that no other law firm can match.


Real Estate Planning, Development and Management
From conception to completion, no legal transaction presents more variety or greater challenge than real estate development.  Each project involves a different plan, new players and unique dynamics.  Most importantly, it demands that lawyers have the same project-oriented approach shown by developers, architects, engineers and builders. We advise clients in all phases of commercial real estate projects. 

Business Organizations and Transactions
Our business transactions experience extends across a broad range of business and commercial transactions, including bankruptcy, corporate finance, intellectual property, executive compensation programs, mergers and acquisitions, employment issues and general business organization and operations.

We provide legal services to statutory corporations, limited liability companies, general and limited partnerships and joint ventures in all stages of their development, whether as start-ups, growth companies, established private companies, or public held entities.  We counsel and provide legal representation to financial institutions, healthcare providers, non-profit organizations, government agencies, technology-based companies, manufacturers and other businesses on a wide variety of matters.

We have valuable international corporate experience, having assisted numerous companies in their foreign business dealings.
