As Africa evolves, so do we... Currently, we have our own offices in six African countries: Kenya (Nairobi), Mauritius (Moka), Namibia (Windhoek, Swakopmund), South Africa (Cape Town, Durban, Johannesburg), Tanzania (Dar es Salaam) and Zambia (Lusaka). We work closely with our Bowmans Alliance firms in Ethiopia (Aman & Partners LLP) and Nigeria (Udo Udoma & Belo-Osagie). These are two of the leading corporate and commercial law firms in their jurisdictions. We have special relationships with firms in Mozambique and Uganda. We also have a non-exclusive co-operation agreement with French international law firm Gide Loyrette Nouel that provides our clients access to assistance in Francophone West and North Africa. We ensure that, whenever our clients need legal advice in other parts of Africa, we can assist them by tapping into our comprehensive database of contacts of the best firms and practitioners across the continent.
