History

More than eighteen years of experience...

Rubeya & Co-Advocates began with an idea that Willy Rubeya, Chairperson, had back in 2000.

The firm came to fill the gap that existed in the Burundian legal market which was lacking solid legal services in the field of business law. Business law and practice within large local law firms was not the main concern at that time.

In a continuing effort to offer services adapted to client’s needs, our firm has grown to include teams with proven expertise in several matters.
