Oil & Gas
The African oil and gas sector has become increasingly important and raises complicated legal, regulatory and operational opportunities, challenges and risks. It is essential for investors in the sector to understand and navigate the regulatory framework. Each country has its own local laws, customs, practices and guidelines with increasingly complex compliance requirements including increasingly stringent environmental regulation, licensing requirements, State participation, local content and participation and taxation.
