Banking & Finance

The demand for commercially sound legal advice is becoming increasingly critical in the emerging markets of Tanzania and the broader East African region, where governments and the private sector are actively prioritizing investments to drive economic development. As financial markets evolve and regulatory frameworks become more sophisticated, businesses require strategic legal guidance to navigate complexities and seize emerging opportunities.

We provide comprehensive legal and regulatory counsel to financial institutions across various sectors, including domestic and international banking, corporate and investment banking, financial services, investment management and funds, insurance, pension funds and administrators, digital platform financial service providers (Fintech firms), stockbrokers, credit providers, venture and alternative capital providers, as well as medical aid schemes and administrators. Our expertise extends to specialized advisory services on structured products and derivatives, including over-the-counter (OTC) derivative instruments.

In Tanzania, we maintain well-established relationships with key regulatory bodies, including the Bank of Tanzania (BOT), the Dar es Salaam Stock Exchange (DSE), and the Capital Markets and Securities Authority (CMSA). Our frequent interactions with these institutions enable us to provide informed, pragmatic, and solution-driven advice, ensuring our clients remain ahead in an increasingly dynamic financial environment.
