Opportunities for international law firms to consult on projects in Africa are growing, as more governments and companies seek help with deals, complex regulations and energy and infrastructure projects.
Before this second scramble for Africa - the result of high growth rates and attractive investment opportunities - big law firms concentrated on project finance around natural resources and basic infrastructure.
The landscape has shifted, as demand for more fancy legal services in areas such as corporate mergers and acquisitions, private equity and venture capital, due diligence and financial markets advisory for sovereign and infrastructure bond issues.
South African law firm, Werksmans Attorneys, has established an impressive footprint across Africa to capitalise on the growing demand for legal services.
