Our dispute resolution and regulatory team combines our lawyers' expertise in litigation, arbitration, investigations and alternative dispute resolution with our on-the-ground knowledge of international trade, regulatory and government affairs issues.
Our goal is to help you devise an approach to addressing and resolving disputes that best fits your business strategy.
Globalization of world markets has brought almost limitless commercial opportunities. It also increases the potential for legal liability and regulatory compliance issues, exposing corporations to financial and reputational risk across multiple jurisdictions.
We regularly handle technically challenging and multi-jurisdictional matters and have the local strength and knowledge to advise on specific legal, cultural and procedural issues. We are one of the most active law firms in Africa, with lawyers throughout the continent working directly with our global litigation, arbitration, regulatory and government affairs teams to give clients access to one of the largest litigation practices in the world. We help companies address the entire range of technically challenging legal dispute and regulatory issues, working to deliver outcomes that meet their strategic goals in efficient and cost-effective ways. In a region where regulation and enforcement will only increase, we also know that effective compliance and avoidance of regulatory intervention is critical.
Local insight, global reach: with lawyers in 20 African countries, our teams understand the political, cultural, regulatory and economic contexts, and our lawyers on-the-ground can call on the support of our wider global Africa team with lawyers in Johannesburg, Casablanca, London, New York, Paris, Dubai, Perth, Hong Kong and Beijing. This global network enables clients to draw on the multidisciplinary resources and experience of one of the world’s biggest law firms, offering a fully integrated service across requirements and borders and drawing on our deep knowledge of national and international legislation as well as our strong working relationships with regulators and governments.
