Africa Desk

The activities of our Africa Desk focus on providing tax advice on establishment and international investments, and deal with related business law issues, in particular OHADA law, as well as regulatory issues (CEMAC - UEMOA foreign exchange regulations, sector-specific regulations on oil, mining, forestry, public-private partnerships, telecoms, financial services).
Our teams are also involved in defending the interests of their clients in case of audits and litigation, particularly tax, customs or sectoral (oil, mining, forestry).
Most of the lawyers in our Africa Desk have lived and worked in Africa, and master both business and tax law applicable in the continent's main countries. Benefiting from a strong network of contacts within leading local professionals, they provide assistance tailored to the needs of international groups investing on the continent.
