Why choose our Africa Group lawyers?

Led from our London and Paris offices, supported by colleagues across our international network and partner firms in Africa, we offer the full suite of legal services to clients from corporate and tax matters through to environmental and social governance and dispute resolution advice.

We appreciate the complexity of the different legal markets throughout the continent, and offer clients localised support where they need it. The team has in-depth knowledge of national and local legal systems in Africa (including OHADA, CEDEAO-ECOWAS, UEMOA-WAEMU, CEMAC-ECCAS, COMESA).

We work with clients in a range of industries, particularly energy and natural resources, construction, public works, infrastructure, information technology, financial services, agriculture, insurance, banking, renewable energy, intellectual property, distribution and services, real estate, hospitality and leisure.

Our capabilities cover the breadth of the continent, and our history in the region means we have deep a understanding of its unique culture and nuances. We can therefore manoeuvre through the varying jurisdictions with ease, helping clients avoid being bogged down in red tape and providing a fast and efficient service.
