The Guide reflects the collective expertise of our Africa practice, which spans over four decades of advising clients on investment, risk, and dispute resolution across the continent. This edition has also drawn on the knowledge of our lawyers based in London, Paris, and Johannesburg, as well as our extensive network of local counsel.
