Mergers & Acquisitions law firms in Africa.

Mergers and acquisitions in Africa involve a complex interplay of company law, competition regulation, foreign investment review and — in cross-border transactions — multi-jurisdictional coordination. South Africa's Competition Commission and Competition Tribunal apply a detailed merger-control regime; Nigeria and Kenya have their own competition authorities with mandatory notification thresholds. Cross-border transactions involving African targets frequently incorporate offshore holding structures — often Mauritius, which has double taxation agreements with multiple African states — to manage exchange control, withholding tax and investor-protection issues. M&A advisers in African markets routinely co-counsel across three or more jurisdictions on a single deal.
