With the increasing development of the economy, Mozambican legislation has been evolving in most sectors, especially in regards to banking, finance and forms of securities aimed at giving investors the confidence and stability that are necessary for growth.
In this context, we have been providing assistance to international and domestic companies, investors and promoters, with the aim of providing a clear overview of the current legal framework and providing updates of its rapidly changing evolution.
Our team has participated in the drafting and negotiation of legislation involving different jurisdictions in order to ensure that the agreements entered into comply with Mozambican laws, without deviating from commercially-minded international practices.
