Guide to Doing Business in Africa

Doing business in Africa is associated with diverse challenges and risks and must accordingly be founded on a strong legal base.

LEX Africa is an alliance of leading law firms with over 600 lawyers in over 25 African countries which was founded in 1993 and was the first legal alliance focusing solely on Africa. Only African law firms join the Alliance subject to strict performance and selection criteria to ensure world-class standards of legal practice.
