Policy & Legal Drafting

Our experience here includes Legal and Regulatory Framework Development, Legislative Drafting, Policy and Advisory work on Concession Agreements and PPPs.

We have vast experience in policy formulation and regulatory framework development within the East African Region. For example, in Somalia, we have assisted the Federal Government of Somalia with the drafting of several laws. We are known for our work in the Horn of Africa region, having acquired considerable on-the-ground experience in these countries and knowledge on their legal and regulatory frameworks.

Aside from working with governments, we also have experience working with international financial institutions and agencies.
