Firm Overview

Commercial & Corporate law firm
Established in 2004 (three premier firms were merged)
A recent focus on assisting clients with setting up companies in the relatively bouyant Angolan market has shaped the practice, although the firm offers a complete range of legal services.
A strategic association with Portuguese firm Texeira de Freitas and membership of Lex Africa has enhanced the firm's reach outside of Angola.
