Africa is undergoing a global revolution.

African economies are among the fastest growing in the world today. A powerful industrial revolution is underway, with an emphasis on clean energy and electricity for all, connectivity of infrastructure, capital markets and financing instruments – with the digital age and new technology serving as the vectors of this intensely rapid change.

The African Continental Free Trade Area came into effect on May 30, 2019, gathering together 1.2 billion people in the world’s largest free trade zone.

Africa’s far-reaching revolution demands a new approach to delivering legal services.

It requires a law firm that combines sophisticated local advice with international experience, offering more insightful analysis, more robust solutions and comprehensive risk mitigation.

It requires a law firm with real experience and proven skill in the key sectors and practice areas most relevant to doing business in Africa.

It requires a law firm committed to Africa, that understands Africa.

ASAFO & CO. is that firm.

A firm conceived and built specifically to accompany and contribute to the success of Africa’s transformation:

• created by lawyers both within and outside the African continent, many with decades of experience in leading international law firms, sharing a vast experience of high-end projects and investments in Africa;
• firmly anchored in Africa, with offices in key hubs covering each and every region to span the entire Continent;
• perfectly positioned to advise industrial groups, investment funds, commercial banks and development financial institutions, African states and communities, established African champions as well a multitude of start-ups and young companies with high innovation impact potential – the African and global champions of tomorrow.

Africa’s revolution has already begun. Today, that revolution has its law firm.
