Five problems
we solve.

Enter Somalia with your legal position settled: the right corporate form, registration and licensing in the right sequence, contracts that work under Somali law, and ongoing country counsel once you are operating.

PROOF

Handled the Somali entry of an international policy consultancy; governance and compliance for a European packaging multinational.

The practice that grew up with the regulator. We advised Visa's Somali entry in the regime's first year — and were engaged by the Central Bank to review its own founding statute.

PROOF

Advised Visa on its Somali market entry; engaged by the Central Bank of Somalia to review its founding statute.

Infrastructure counsel from both sides of the table: our partners structured the frameworks behind Somalia's ports; the firm has acted for the airline, the shipping line and the electricity regulator operating under them.

PROOF

Counsel to Turkish Airlines; two decades inside Somalia's port framework, from design to disputes.

Our partners have drafted the rules — in the Ministry of Justice's legislative unit before the firm, and in the drafting mandates the firm carries today. Governments, regulators and development institutions come to us to write law, reform it, and research how it really works.

PROOF

A partner-led federal Legislative Drafting Manual, English and Somali; the firm's three-year justice-research partnership under a USAID-funded program.

When a Somali matter turns contentious, venue and enforcement decide as much as the merits. We run disputes with both in view from day one — in court, in arbitration, and in the negotiations that end most of them.

PROOF

Represented Maersk in arbitration and before the Somali courts; held a cross-border counterparty to its contract's mediation clause.
