Jeantet and Africa, a long-standing relationship.
We are one of the first law firms in Paris to have dedicated one of its departments to African law. We are particularly active in the energy and mining sectors, and we have a strong track record in international arbitration in these areas.
Our teams have an in-depth knowledge of the research and work performed under the aegis of the Organization for the Harmonization of Business Law in Africa, such as the Unified African Law, WAEMU, ECOWAS, SADC, and CEMAC.
Our lawyers also have expertise in advising governments and public authorities, particularly in the development and drafting of legislation and regulations, the organization and operation of national and local administrations and the modernization of public services. Our long-standing presence in Africa has also allowed us to build a network of local consultants covering the entire African continent.
