    Our Africa Group is dedicated to delivering tailored solutions to our clients in the countries forming the African legal landscape.

    Our team is made up of lawyers with a wide range of skills and experience advising on a variety of practice areas. The team has worked on a number of high profile transactions across Anglophone and Francophone Africa in a wide variety of sectors.

    We operate via an extensive network of tried and tested local law firms and have built our network over many years, enabling us to provide an efficient, integrated and international service.

    The members of the Africa Group speak French, Zulu and Afrikaans fluently, have spent time living and working in Kenya, Uganda, Zambia, Tanzania and South Africa and a number are dual qualified which means we are exceptionally well placed to handle transactions across the continent.

    We understand that Africa can be an exciting place to do business but it is not without its challenges. Our team is well versed in navigating such challenges to enable our clients to make the most of the extensive opportunities the continent has to offer.
