Africa
Africa is one of the fastest growing emerging markets in the world. The vast natural resources have been the driving force of the economic development of the continent for decades. However, more recently, the internal consumption and technological advances have driven an increasing appetite for imported goods and services, creating new commercial opportunities. One of the key determinants for success in the African emerging markets is having access to the right relationships.
TA Advisory offers a range of legal services in Africa and advises on: infrastructure and energy projects, telecommunication and project financing, cross-border litigation, and asset recovery matters for local and international investors.
Our clients often require substantial and experienced presence on the ground. Across the continent, our attorneys have advised on major matters, from some of the largest telecom and mining acquisitions, to election campaigns and cross-border litigation.
