About

Provided by ENS

Natural resources are driving the growth and development which is transforming Africa, and we are proud to be at the coalface of this dynamic space on the continent.

ENSafrica works at the nexus of renewable and non-renewable energy, mining, the environment, sustainability and commerce, and we thrive in creating innovative legal solutions to suit the needs of your business.

We have the capacity to undertake a multifaceted array of work across the African continent, where legislation and regulation are becoming increasingly stringent and are impacting on industrial and business strategies in a world facing the challenges of limited resources and climate change.

Our key differentiator is that we combine a deep understanding of the legal, commercial, financial and regulatory aspects and a very strong technical expertise and understanding of natural resources.

We have a solid reputation for acting on large, complex, high-profile energy and mining transactions, and we are renowned for our ability to manage risk and leverage opportunities amid environmental concerns.
