ACROSS AFRICA
ESTABLISHED 2016
Afri-Conseil & Associates was established in 2016 by Advocate Carolle D. Wedi, following over 20 years of distinguished service as in-house legal counsel for leading multinational corporations operating across Africa's extractive and logistics industries.
Throughout her career, Advocate Wedi identified a critical gap in the market: the absence of reliable, comprehensive, and up-to-date legal support instruments and documentation across most African jurisdictions. Companies operating in the continent's most dynamic sectors were consistently underserved — forced to navigate complex regulatory landscapes without fit-for-purpose legal tools.
As a dual-qualified and bilingual international corporate, business, and investment lawyer, Carolle founded Afri-Conseil & Associates to bridge this gap — creating a user-friendly platform where clients can obtain gold-standard template agreements, expertly customised to their needs, in record time. Our mission is to reduce legal costs, accelerate turnaround, and empower legal departments and project teams to focus on what matters most: executing projects and running their business operations.
We are not here to replace your legal department — we are here to become an extension of your team. Our clients deserve timely support without exorbitant fees or weeks spent drafting from scratch. Afri-Conseil exists so that businesses operating in Africa can access accurate, fit-for-purpose legal agreements and documents, professionally customised and delivered when they need them. That is our commitment — precision, efficiency, and partnership.
