Working with global organisations across different industries, we identify opportunities and help to exploit market developments. The kinds of issues we advise on range from the impact of the African Continental Free Trade Area Agreement and government investment on infrastructure projects to foreign direct investments and diversification of portfolios from conventional energy to renewables. We also help our clients take advantage of the global trends in mining, such as cobalt, nickel and issues connected to battery technology.
We have been operating in Africa for over 25 years, so our track record speaks for itself. The team has advised on projects across mining, natural resources, energy (power and oil/gas), infrastructure and telecoms. And the kind of work we have been involved in ranges from corporate transactions and funds to private equity, trade and project finance, disputes and arbitrations. As we continue to see growth across the energy, mining and infrastructure sectors this is where you’ll see us most active.
Our Africa team is based in China, the Middle East and Europe. We also have strong relationships with local counsel throughout Africa - enabling us to combine our expertise with local law advice. Our formal alliances with leading law firms in Angola, Cape Verde, Côte d’Ivoire, Djibouti, Guinea Bissau, Mozambique, Sao Tome and Principe, South Africa and Uganda give us the local presence we need to best support our clients in those jurisdictions.
