We also work with local, regional and international multinational companies to source for and place lawyers in different companies across different industries in Africa. The in house legal function has evolved over the years and has become increasingly important to companies that are working on a lot of projects and transactions throughout Africa.
The Legal Compliance function is also becoming very important to companies due to the increased risk of exposure to liability due to the long arm jurisdiction of US and UK law. We can assist companies to mitigate their risk by ensuring that they have a very strong and well balanced in house legal and compliance team.

Interim/Contract Attorneys
The use of interim and contract attorneys in Africa is not very popular. There is however the increased understanding that at times the in house legal teams require the services of experienced lawyers to work with them on an interim or contractual basis when they have a big projects or transactions that require a rapid turn-around time.
Often times the resources available to in house legal teams are not enough to work on several projects at the same time and in such circumstance it becomes appropriate to hire an external lawyer to work in house on an interim contractual basis or as a contract attorney on a fixed term or interim basis.

Professional Support Staff
The practice of law in Africa has increasingly become much more sophisticated over the past decade. The law firms across the continent have invested heavily in technology and in the training of their lawyers to ensure that they can effectively compete in the new legal market in Africa.
There has been a flurry of activity all over Africa, with some international law firms acquiring or entering into strategic alliances and relationships with local and regional firms.
Some local law firms have also through a process of mergers and acquisitions; morphed into regional law firms.
A lot of the local law firms in different jurisdictions have merged with other law firms in the jurisdictions to take advantage of economies of scale to ensure that that they have the manpower and technology in place to handle and advice on big transactions in their own jurisdiction.
Due to this disruption we have seen an increasing demand for Practice Managers, Business Development Managers, Chief Operating Officers, Chief Technology Officers, Chief Financial Officers and Marketing Managers all across law firms in Africa.
The firm has placed professionals in these different roles in Africa.

Paralegal/Law Clerks
Paralegals, Law Clerks that are highly experienced are also in demand due to the role technology has played in changing the speed at which lawyers and law firms and clients execute transactions and the transaction management process.
There is an increasing realization that page formatting, document review are not activities that a transaction lawyer should spend a lot of time on since that time is better utilized to draft and negotiate transaction documents.
Once the draft and corrections have been effected, the Paralegal / Senior Secretary should take over the responsibility for formatting, document review and document management under the supervision of the Transactional lawyer that is the lead on the project or transaction.
A good paralegal or senior secretary will greatly increase the productivity of the in house lawyers and external legal counsel in managing transaction costs by taking over a lot of the responsibility for formatting and reviewing documents.
