hire legal counsels in africa

Companies hire legal counsel when contracts, disputes and regulatory questions become too frequent or too costly to send to outside lawyers every time. A good counsel protects the company without slowing the business, gives clear answers and knows when to bring in external help.

What to check when screening

  • Check their knowledge of the business law that applies to you, such as the OHADA uniform acts in member states.
  • Ask for a contract they drafted or negotiated, with confidential details removed.
  • Look for experience in your sector, since banking, mining or telecoms each have their own regulations.
  • Check their written French or English, and both if you work across language zones.

Questions to ask in interview

  • A sales director wants to sign a client contract today with terms you find risky. What do you do?
  • How do you decide whether to settle a dispute or go to court?
  • How do you keep up with regulatory changes in our sector?
