<strong>LEX</strong> AFRICA<br />
AFRICA’S FIRST AND LARGEST LEGAL NETWORK<br />
<strong>Doing</strong> business in Africa is associated with diverse challenges and risks and must accordingly be<br />
founded on a strong legal base. The need for effective legal services was the reason for the<br />
formation in 1993 of <strong>LEX</strong> AFRICA, the first and largest network of law firms in Africa. <strong>LEX</strong> AFRICA<br />
has members in 29 African countries with over 500 lawyers and is rated by Chambers & Partners<br />
as a leading law firm network.<br />
Lex <strong>Africa's</strong> members focus on general corporate and commercial law as well as dispute<br />
resolution. Each <strong>LEX</strong> AFRICA member is an independent law firm but members often work<br />
<strong>to</strong>gether on cross border and other matters <strong>to</strong> provide comprehensive legal services <strong>to</strong> clients.<br />
<strong>LEX</strong> AFRICA member firms have a full understanding of the local laws, cus<strong>to</strong>ms, business<br />
practices, cultures and languages in their respective countries and must comply with strict service<br />
standards <strong>to</strong> provide world class legal services. <strong>LEX</strong> AFRICA does not charge referral or other fees<br />
<strong>to</strong> clients.<br />
With <strong>LEX</strong> AFRICA effectively covering the entire African continent, the network and its members<br />
form an important and useful resource for advising and assisting business in Africa.<br />
