Frequently Asked Questions

Our templates are professionally drafted by legal practitioners with deep expertise in African extractive industries. Each template is customised to your specific jurisdiction, legal framework (OHADA or English law), and chosen arbitration centre (LCIA or ICC). Free templates are generic and rarely account for the complexities of African legal systems, cross-border requirements, or industry-specific regulations.

We currently cover 8 African jurisdictions: Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), Republic of Congo (Congo Brazzaville), South Africa, Zambia, Tanzania, Namibia, Guinea, and Pan-African (multi-jurisdiction). Each template is customised with jurisdiction-specific provisions, applicable laws, and regulatory requirements.

We offer 12 types of legal agreements including:

• Non-Disclosure Agreements
• Service Agreements
• Mining Extraction Services Agreements
• Joint Venture Agreements
• Public-Private Joint Ventures
• Shareholders' Agreements
• Share Purchase Agreements
• Production Sharing Agreements
• Offtake Agreements
• Equipment Lease Agreements
• Consultancy Agreements
• Employment Contracts

Each is available under English law/LCIA or OHADA/ICC frameworks.
