Doing business in Africa provides unique challenges and endless opportunities. With fewer conflicts and economic growth rates that are now competitive with those of other developing regions, Africa has experienced positive change and has a substantial amount to offer. However, doing business in this rapidly expanding region requires a different set of skills. ENS (Edward Nathan Sonnenbergs) is able to offer these through our established structures ensuring an enhancement of product-offering for our clients.
ENS is renowned for identifying opportunities both locally and internationally and, having recognized the potential within Africa, the firm has focused on expanding the depth and breadth of our existing services to satisfy local and international clients, including foreign legal counsel needing local expertise and experience in countries throughout Africa.
Many successful corporate companies require legal counsel that offers both geographical capability as well as substantive local expertise. In addition, they look for assistance in negotiating and documenting transactions involving parties in multiple countries that typically have varying, and sometimes conflicting intellectual property, legal, tax, forensics and regulatory requirements. Moreover, they require solutions to all their needs resulting in continuity, consistency and expert advice no matter where these services are required. Advice developed through comprehensive knowledge about, and experience within, Africa is critical to business success. Working with the highest calibre of legal professional is equally important. Given that South Africa is an obvious point of entry into the rest of the African continent, ENS offers a team of specialist law, tax, forensics and intellectual property practitioners within the firm who concentrate solely on Africa and can therefore offer experienced, expert assistance in this specialised and often complicated area.
ENS’s substantive cross-border expertise and project management skills are also augmented by an experienced network of commercial firms and specialist law, tax, forensics and intellectual property agents in Africa with local know-how that best represents the specific country involved. This formidable combination makes ENS the African law firm of choice for cross-border legal advice throughout the continent.
