Cuatrecasas was one of the first Iberian law firms to set its sights on the emerging African market.
We have three offices in Africa: Casablanca (Morocco), Luanda (Angola) and Maputo (Mozambique), as well as the North African desk, which includes lawyers from several of our offices who specialize in all practice areas and have knowledge of the legal system, culture and business world of the main regions of Africa.
We also team up with some of the most renowned independent law firms in each country, including Gide, which has a very strong presence in North Africa. We have extensive experience working closely with these law firms and have secondment agreements with some of them. We have participated in multiple crossborder transactions and offer clients the flexibility to put together teams adapted to each type of transaction and specific clients’ needs.
We advise international companies on their strategies to establish and run companies in Africa, on buying and selling businesses, and on collaboration agreements. We also advise African companies on their investments in Iberia and in the rest of Europe.
Leading international legal directories, such as Chambers and Partners, Legal 500, and IFLR, recognize our work in different practices in the jurisdictions where we have offices.
