Banking & Finance
Finance is among the most intricate sectors of the economy. Due to the sensitivity in that space, it undergoes so much scrutiny by regulators. We offer our expertise to help our clients within the sector to seamlessly navigate through the constantly changing layers of regulation within the financial ecosystem.
Debt/Asset Recovery
In the world of business, cashflow is the most important factor. For businesses, poor ability to recover debt becomes an existential threat. We strategically pursue our clients’ assets and recover their debts with much efficiency. This is, especially, as we advise our clients to put the best shock absorbers in place when contracting
Real Estate & Construction
Disputes are very much inherent in the real estate and construction space. This makes it necessary for players in the sector to have a good legal strategy for their businesses to navigate through the many troubles that may arise. We undertake highly robust due diligence for our clients in the space and ensure that their contract documents are watertight in protecting their interests. This gives our clients an edge should any dispute arise subsequently.
Corporate Commercial
For a company to succeed, compliance with the law must be at the top of its priority list. This ensures, not only that the regulators appreciate them, but it also gives confidence to prospective investors. On both sides of the divide, we help our clients stay up to date with compliances while we do due diligence, on behalf of our clients, on companies they intend to invest in.

Every organization is as successful as its people. That is why, through our Labour & Employment Practice, we ensure our clients establish good working environment with their employers or employees. We pursue our client’s legitimate interests where any labor standards are breached against them.
