African Desk

Our African Desk assists companies, investors, and institutional entities in transactions and projects involving one or more African jurisdictions. We provide legal and tax advice on corporate, commercial, contractual, and regulatory matters, as well as representation in litigation and arbitration proceedings. Our services are conducted by professionals with direct experience in various regions of Africa and rely on a consolidated network of trusted local law firms, ensuring full compliance with the regulations and practices in force in each jurisdiction.
In particular, thanks to structured relationships with local businesses and public authorities, we assist clients in defining operational strategies, establishing partnerships, and managing the legal and tax aspects related to conducting business in the region.
We have also gained significant experience advising NGOs, foundations, and philanthropic investors active in sub-Saharan Africa, as well as companies involved in international cooperation and development projects.
Abbiamo concluso un accordo di collaborazione non esclusiva con Lex Africa, la principale alleanza di studi legali indipendenti operanti nel continente e presente in oltre venti giurisdizioni.Through this collaboration, our firm offers clients direct access to qualified local expertise and coordinated support on cross-border projects and transactions at every stage – from investment structuring to regulatory, contractual and dispute-resolution matters.
