Bissau, Mozambique).<br /> </h3> <p>Our approach to delivering advice across Southern Africa and <a href="/people_and_places/places/africa/southern-africa/lusophone-africa.html">Lusophone Africa</a> is through a combination of leading international benchmarking and local relationships. This model is one which we hold out as being 'best in class' amongst our peers as it brings together the most relevant expertise from the most suitable law firm, sourced at an appropriate price with us coordinating a 'one-stop shop' approach. We pride ourselves on our significant track record of major African deals where we have acted as an international counsel in close and fruitful cooperation with top African law firms in the region, with whom we maintain robust and close relationships.<br /> </p> <p>A business-minded approach – our aim is to be responsive, constructive and efficient, focusing on finding effective solutions to legal and commercial problems.</p> <p>We advise our clients across a full range of legal services (complex finance and project finance, capital markets, restructuring, M&A, and dispute resolution) and across a wide variety of industries (energy and natural resources, infrastructure, banks and financial services, private equity, telecommunications, TECH).</p> <p>Our lawyers from across the Clifford Chance network work together to:</p> <ul> <li>provide seasoned international advice locally. Our global experience allows us to bring sophisticated advice in a local context.</li> <li>get the deal through. Our experts understand the local environment and put to use our proven methodology when it comes to dealing with the governments and the relevant regulatory bodies to get the deal through.</li> <li>advise on both inbound and outbound work. We boast strong relationships with many of the leading banks and corporate institutions in the region, advising on both inbound and outbound work. For instance, we have advised South African banks (Rand Merchant Bank, Barclays/Absa, Standard Bank) on various financings and project financings in Nigeria, Ghana, Mozambique, Ethiopia, Tanzania,
