Litigation, Arbitration and Regulatory

Our litigation team in Africa are skilled in litigation and other forms of alternative dispute resolution including arbitration and mediation. 

We give careful consideration to the commercial objectives of clients by carrying out an evaluation of both the legal and reputational risks of each case and seeking the best dispute resolution strategy and approach for the transaction. 

In an environment where regulation and its enforcement will only increase, we recognize that effective compliance and avoidance of regulatory intervention are critical for our clients’ businesses.

We have the local knowledge to advise on a wide range of regulatory issues and develop case strategies, including technically challenging or complex multi-jurisdictional matters. 

Our partners are routinely appointed as arbitrators and, supported by the firm’s associates, are retained in high-profile cases by both multinational and local blue-chip companies as well as the government and various state entities.
