C&G’s Africa practice provides seamless representation to African and international clients in the oil and gas, renewables, infrastructure, mining and metals, technology, agribusiness, and financial services sectors. Practice attorneys operate together from our offices in New York, London, Paris, and Washington, D.C.

Our transactional attorneys regularly advise public and privately-held companies, private equity funds, sovereign wealth funds, and other alternative asset managers on cross-border mergers and acquisitions, joint ventures, and dispositions, as well as fund raising, fund due diligence and evaluation, and fund formation, in a number of African jurisdictions.

Our litigators have represented clients in numerous international arbitrations and cross-border litigations relating to Africa, and we have extensive experience providing strategic advice relating to U.S. economic/OFAC sanctions, EU economic sanctions, export controls, anti-money laundering (AML) laws and regulations, international cooperation and anti-corruption/anti-bribery laws, including the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA), the UK Bribery Act, and French anti-bribery regulations. We also have advised clients on tax and technology matters relating to African jurisdictions and clients.

The practice is led by partner Kwaku Andoh, who is based in New York but travels frequently to Africa.
