Track record

Substantive results from our first engagements

Client names are held in strict confidence in line with our professional obligations.

  • Petroleum sector

    Corporate restructuring

  • Energy sector

    Long-term compliance mandate

    Retained as compliance counsel for a petroleum sector client for more than eight years: continuous regulatory monitoring, risk identification and advice on new obligations, with zero material compliance breaches over the engagement.

  • Litigation

    Successful commercial litigation

    Represented a commercial client in contested litigation before Tanzanian courts, achieving a favourable outcome that protected the client's business interests and commercial position.
