Dispute Resolution

About

Provided by Gide Loyrette Nouel

The Gide Africa team relies on a team of some 90 lawyers mostly dedicated to Africa and distributed between two key offices in Europe (Paris and London) and three in North Africa (Algiers, Casablanca and Tunis), liaising with our offices in China (Beijing and Shanghai) and Turkey (Istanbul) to develop its strong and growing practice. Our African desk is supported by an extensive and well-established local network of contacts and leading law firms throughout the continent that have been carefully selected not only for their legal expertise, but also for their relationships with government departments and agencies. The multilingual Africa team has very wide expertise of both French law and English law governed transactions and their associated documentation.

Our experience and expertise extends across the entire continent, not only in French-speaking Western and Central Africa but also in Southern and Eastern Africa and in Portuguese-speaking countries. Our lawyers possess extensive and detailed knowledge of both national and regional African legal systems and regimes, enabling them to advise notably on the policies and objectives of regional communities and laws such as those of the ECOWAS (Economic Community of West African States), CEMAC (Economic and Monetary Community of Central Africa), UEMOA (West African Economic and Monetary Union), SADC (Southern African Development Community) and OHADA (Organization for the Harmonization of Business Law in Africa).
