Webinar: African Opportunities - Chasing returns, managing risks

Herbert Smith Freehills Kramer invites you to join our upcoming webinar, "Opportunities in Africa, chasing returns and managing risks," on Tuesday, 21 October 2025, at 9:30 a.m. (EDT) / 2:30 p.m. (BST) / 3:30 p.m. (CAT). 

In today’s global economy, US-based fund managers often turn to markets elsewhere to generate the returns their investors demand. Africa provides attractive opportunities, but US managers have historically been concerned about African investments because of perceived risk. Though the perception may be accurate to different degrees in particular places, nuanced and sophisticated approaches can reduce risk and protect returns.

Our partners and speakers, Martin Kavanagh, Brigette Baillie, Patrick Hirsch and Ziyanda Ntshona have a proven track record in assisting clients to identify, navigate, and mitigate the diverse risks associated with African projects, which often vary significantly from one jurisdiction to another.

During the session, our partners will discuss some of the most notable matters they have advised on, the types of risks encountered, and the mechanisms and strategies employed to address these challenges.

The webinar will feature a conversational format among the partners, moderated by Yasho Lahiri, who brings deep familiarity with the US client base and their needs. Yasho will guide the discussion towards topics and questions most relevant to our audience.

Attendees will also be able to submit questions via the platform’s chat function, allowing Yasho to pose them directly to the Africa team.

We look forward to your participation in what promises to be an insightful and interactive event.
