We ensure all company operations are registered and compliant with the Registre du Commerce et du Crédit Mobilier (RCCM), and we offer strategic advice on shareholder relations and business transformation initiatives.
Our firm offers expert legal support in drafting, negotiating, and reviewing a wide range of commercial contracts in accordance with Cameroonian civil and commercial law. Whether it concerns service agreements, distribution partnerships, franchising, or complex business arrangements, we ensure that your contracts are not only enforceable but also aligned with your operational goals. We also conduct in-depth contractual audits to identify risks and recommend mitigation strategies.
In accordance with Cameroonian PPP regulations, particularly Law No. 2006/012 and its related decrees, we provide legal structuring and support for public-private partnerships. We help clients develop legally sound partnership models, draft and negotiate concession and BOT agreements, and ensure proper risk allocation and compliance with public procurement frameworks. Our expertise allows clients to collaborate effectively with public institutions while safeguarding their commercial interests.
