Corporate

We have almost 300 corporate lawyers around the world, with a core team which has firsthand experience of transactions in Africa.

We work on large and complex transactions for clients across regions and across borders. Over the last decade we have regularly featured in the top ten in mergers and acquisitions and the top five in IPO league tables.

We can

• work closely with lawyers in different jurisdictions in Africa to review the local laws and thus guarantee you appropriate public disclosure in any key transaction documents
• steer you through international capital market offerings and listings (including dual and secondary) on all the major global stock exchanges, including the AIM market
• advise you on local and US corporate finance issues.

Our service

Our practice covers mergers and acquisitions, strategic joint venture and partnering arrangements, equity capital markets, private equity, financial services, insurance, investment funds and US corporate finance.

We specialise in top level transactional work for global clients in the corporate and financial institutions sectors.

Much of our North African work is conducted by our Paris office, where we have lawyers expert in the MENA region. Our China practice focuses on long-established links between China and Africa, particularly in mining and commodities.
