Our Approach to AfricaWe were one of the first international law firms to open an office in Africa over 30 years ago and we continue to support and advise clients across the continent. Work is undertaken by teams in our locally based African offices alongside lawyers with Africa expertise in our Baker McKenzie offices worldwide and where appropriate our African Relationship Firms. This approach provides our clients with an integrated service that is supported by our global reach and best practice aligned with industry expertise and local knowledge.
Global Reach and Perspective ● Over 200 Africa-focused lawyers across 77 offices in 47 countries, with experience of
multi-jurisdictional and complex deals, projects and disputes. ● Extensive expertise in the major inbound and outbound markets with Africa,
including China, Brazil, India, Japan, the US and Western Europe.
Local Knowledge and Depth ● Around 100 lawyers on the ground across Africa in our regional hubs in Cairo,
Casablanca and Johannesburg. ● We assist clients as deal or international counsel, working with carefully selected
local counsel from our network of top tier relationship firms in those countries where we don’t have an office.
African Relationship Firms ● Our strong and trusted relationships with our African Relationship Firms go beyond
partnering on matters - we work hard to help our partners strengthen their capacity and working practices.
● We hold regular relationship firm conferences to share information, discuss opportunities and provide support to ensure effective execution of client projects. We include our relationship firms in our training initiatives and have hosted secondees in our London and Johannesburg offices.
Industry Focus ● We have deep industry expertise in areas such as Energy, Mining, Infrastructure and
related Financing, Banking, Telecoms and Technology, Retail & Consumer, Real Estate, Agribusiness, Automotive and Pharma & Healthcare.
● We regularly work with DFIs and ECAs to establish major projects and financing from outset through to completion.
Risk Management ● Our global, regional and local expertise helps us identify the unique risks of
investing in Africa. We advise clients on practical methods of mitigating and managing risks to gain maximum benefit from the business and investment opportunities available to them.
Project Management ● We take a ‘One firm’ approach to supporting our clients’ businesses across Africa,
including providing clients with access to dedicated project managers as part of an integrated team.
● We have significant experience of leading and managing multi- jurisdictional and multidisciplinary project teams.
No matter the business or legal issue, we provide clients with the guidance and support they need to overcome the challenges of doing business in Africa and achieve their Africa-focused strategies, using our expertise across industry sectors and legal systems to help them pursue opportunities, achieve growth and manage risk in their business.
