Our presence in Africa is always evolving to meet the changes that are shaping the future of this vast continent.

Currently, we have our own offices in Five African countries: Ghana, Togo, Burkina Faso, Mali & Cameroon.

We ensure that, whenever our clients need legal advice in other parts of Africa, we can assist them by tapping into our comprehensive database of contacts of the best firms and practitioners across the continent.

Serving a Diverse Range of Sectors

Our firms have extensive experience representing clients across various industries, from technology and real estate to energy and finance. We understand the unique legal challenges businesses face in each sector and provide tailored solutions to help you achieve your goals.

Our team of experienced attorneys offers a full range of legal services to meet your diverse needs. Whether you require assistance with mergers and acquisitions, litigation, or real estate matters, we have the expertise to provide effective legal solutions.

Banking, Finance, Investment Funds & Private Equity

Our specialist lawyers have advised and assisted a wide variety of clients in financing, investment fund and private equity transactions and a range of financial instruments. Our reputation across the continent and beyond Africa’s borders, allows us to advise Africa’s largest financial institutions and corporations, as well as the world’s leading investment banks, commercial banks, private equity funds, hedge funds and other financial institutions.

Business Crimes & Investigations

Crime and corruption has significant potential implications for your business and its reputation. Our specialist lawyers act for both the public and private sectors in the successful prevention, detection and investigation of business crimes, however contentious or sensitive, in order to minimise, manage and if possible eliminate the risks. They are experts in regulatory and internal investigations, enforcement actions and disciplinary proceedings across all sectors.

General Business Law

Understanding the various available business vehicles as well as compliance requirements for companies and other corporate entities is vital. African governments are increasingly passing laws to protect consumers as well as data privacy. Tax, exchange control and banking rules and regulations must also be fully understood.
Our specialist lawyers have substantial experience in advising both multinational and local companies on all relevant corporate, commercial and regulatory matters relevant to their businesses.

Competition Law

African competition law is developing rapidly and needs to be closely and regularly monitored due to the serious consequences of a competition law contravention including severe financial penalties, potential damages claims, reputational damages and even criminal sanctions. New competition laws are being proposed, passed, reviewed and amended.

Construction & Engineering

The face of construction & engineering in Africa has changed exponentially with increasingly larger and more complex projects from both a technical and regulatory perspective. Our specialist lawyers combine detailed legal knowledge with practical commercial experience to assist and advise clients to maximise the benefits of opportunities and manage and resolve risks and regulatory obstacles.

Corporate Mergers & Acquisitions

Our specialist lawyers have in‑depth experience in both public and private corporate mergers as well as international/cross‑border transactions. Our approach is to “get the deal done” and we have assisted clients in take‑overs, reverse take‑overs, corporate mergers, acquisitions, restructurings, management/leveraged buy‑outs, private equity, hostile bids, privatisations and other corporate transactions including new listings (primary, secondary and inward), stock exchange compliance, offers to the public, corporate finance and structuring, delistings and the issue of shares and other securities.

Cyber Law, Block chain & Technology

Our specialist lawyers have the experience and expertise required to handle the challenges posed by this ever evolving and fast paced sector. They understand the challenges that businesses face as cyber security and technology laws are increasing in risk and complexity. Regulators are seeking to address potential issues, often with limited resources, and often grapple with the need to balance the fine line between regulation and the promotion of competition and innovation.

Dispute Resolution

Dispute resolution in Africa requires an in depth understanding both of the law as well as the practical issues involved. International arbitration is increasingly preferred as an alternative to the courts with arbitration centres developing in Nigeria, Egypt, South Africa and East Africa (mainly Rwanda). The recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments in African countries is increasingly important as African states adopt the UNCITRAL Model Law on International Arbitration and accede to the New York Convention on the Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Arbitral Awards.

Healthcare and Life Sciences

Our specialist lawyers understand the dynamics and challenges that both individuals and businesses face in this sector including escalating costs, ongoing legislative changes, regulatory uncertainty, slow processes and disputes with regulators. Our services include: assisting medical schemes and administrators in clamping down on fraudulent medical claims implementing workable, cost effective HIV/Aids workplace programs advising on disputes over dispensing fees, medicine pricing and the advertising of health products.
