OUR FIRM OUR FOOTPRINT IN AFRICA

Bowman Gilfillan Africa Group is a leading Pan-African law firm. Our track record of providing specialist legal services, both domestic and cross-border, in the fields of corporate law, banking and finance law and dispute resolution, spans over a century.

With eight offices in six African countries and over

400 specialised lawyers, we are differentiated by

our geographical reach, independence and the

quality of legal services we provide.

We draw on our unique knowledge of the African

business environment and in-depth understanding

of the socio-political climate to advise clients on

a wide range of technical legal issues. Our aim is

to assist our clients in achieving their objectives

as smoothly and efficiently as possible while

minimising the legal and regulatory risks.

Our clients include corporates, multinationals and

state-owned enterprises across a range of industry

sectors as well as financial institutions

and governments.

Our expertise is frequently recognised by

independent research organisations. Most recently,

Bowman Gilfillan Africa Group was named African

Legal Adviser by DealMakers as well as winning the

Competition and Regulatory Team of the Year and

the IP Team of the Year Awards at the prestigious

African Legal Awards hosted by Legal Week and the

Corporate Lawyers Association.

We provide integrated legal services throughout

Africa from eight offices (Antananarivo, Cape

Town, Dar es Salaam, Durban, Gaborone,

Johannesburg, Kampala and Nairobi) in six

countries (Botswana, Kenya, Madagascar, South

Africa, Tanzania and Uganda).

We work closely with leading Nigerian firm,

OUR INFRASTRUCTURE SECTOR GROUP

While inadequate infrastructure is hampering

growth in Africa, it also offers significant

investment opportunities. Sustained

investment in the key sectors of transport,

telecommunications, power generation and

mining will also unlock economic growth and

improved access to critical social infrastructure

(including public buildings, healthcare,

education, water treatment and supply).

According to the Legal 500 (2015) we have

“successfully developed a strong practice across

Africa” and are “frequently instructed by private

sector sponsors and lenders on major energy and

infrastructure projects”.

We routinely handle complex finance transactions

and have extensive knowledge of leveraged and

acquisition finance, structured finance, capital

markets, project finance, property finance,

insolvency and restructuring, derivatives and

securitisation. Our experience covers bilateral

and syndicated loans, inter-creditor and agency

agreements, export credit financing, and

guarantee and security issues.

Our presence ‘on-the-ground’ and ability to

resolve challenges particular to infrastructure

projects in Africa is a key differentiator as is our

experience with complex domestic and cross-

border infrastructure projects on the continent.

Our clients range from corporations to banks and

financial institutions, sponsors and lenders, state-

owned enterprises and government departments

involved in major infrastructure projects. We also

work with other law firms, particularly within the

context of joint appointments with international

legal counsel, to ensure the delivery of legal

services appropriate to individual projects.

We help our clients at all stages of the economic life-cycle of infrastructure projects - from developing to acquiring to managing to restructuring to selling assets, including assisting with the necessary financing. Our team comprises African specialists in mergers and acquisitions, project and asset financing and refinancing, procurement, concessions and public private partnerships, construction, dispute resolution and regulatory compliance.

the forefront of developments in the banking and

finance field and are market-leaders for innovation,

documentation standards and best practice.

REGULATORY AND ENVIRONMENTAL

Our regulatory and environmental teams offer real

depth and a broad range of expertise, covering

due-diligence investigations, legal risk mitigation

and management, permitting advice, project

and development advice, appeals, litigation

and administrative appeals, advice on specific

environmental impacts and compliance auditing.

In its role advising lenders and developers, the team

undertakes due diligence investigations on projects,

initially in terms of assessing RFP bid compliance

and, in the case of projects selected as preferred

bidders, from a general environmental and other

regulatory perspective leading up to project

financial close.

PROPERTY

Our property lawyers have a thorough

understanding of property law and associated

practicalities, including land registration and

conveyancing, leases, servitudes, construction law,

town planning, insolvency, finance and financing

structures, mortgage and other securities and tax.

They form an integral part of the team advising

lenders and developers on the financing of project

where property and land use aspects are often

key. In this context, the conduct of a due diligence

investigation on acquiring the relevant properties

and land use rights is invaluable for an appropriate

allocation of the property risks relevant to the

project financing.

OUR SECTOR EXPERTISE

POWER INFRASTRUCTURE

Our lawyers have extensive knowledge of the

African power sector with particular experience in

the development of thermal power, hydropower and

renewable energy power facilities by independent

power producers (IPPs) and incumbent utilities.

We have an in-depth understanding of the African

power sector including: policies for unbundling the

vertically integrated power supply chains, tariff

regulation policies and competition for scarce

transmission and distribution network capacity.

This enables us to help our clients to negotiate

appropriate risk-adjusted agreements to secure

their investments.

TECHNOLOGY, MEDIA & TELECOMMUNICATIONS

We regularly advise and act for clients in the

telecommunications and broadcasting sectors.

Our multi-disciplinary Technology, Media &

Telecommunications (TMT) Practice comprises

lawyers specialising in mergers and acquisitions,

outsourcing, regulatory matters including licensing

and compliance, data protection and property law.

We keep abreast of regulatory developments in the

telecommunications and broadcasting sectors in

many African jurisdictions and are able to provide

specialist advice to clients in these areas, both in the

context of particular transactions and in the context

of their general regulatory obligations.

TRANSPORT INFRASTRUCTURE

It is common knowledge that Africa’s infrastructure

gap is most acute in the transportation sector.

Domestic public sector funding is historically

the primary source of funding to close this gap.

However, many governments appear to struggle

to use public sector funding sustainably and

effectively, so much so that critical transportation

sector projects often fail at some point in the

procurement process. In addition, typically,

African transportation infrastructure projects

require some form of host government concession

but institutional and policy conditions can cause

significant delays. Critical institutional, regulatory

and policy reform is often lagging. We understand

these issues. Our lawyers have advised on most of

the major transportation infrastructure transactions

in Southern Africa to date. We also have a dedicated

Ports, Terminals & Logistics Corridors Sector

Group with significant experience in facilitating

the establishment of ports infrastructure and

relationships between land and sea users.

Please refer to our Mining and Ports, Terminals &

Logistics Corridors brochures for further sector

specific experience.
