Throughout the years, our firm has built significant expertise and experience across the African continent. This has led Janson to profound knowledge of the various legal systems in Africa, its markets and rich local cultures. All this combined makes Janson your ideal partner for your projects in Africa.

The epicenter of the firm’s activity on the African continent is Central Africa, with a strong focus on Democratic Republic of Congo, Rwanda and Burundi.

→ In 2024, we opened our first office on the continent in Kigali, in the Kigali Alliance Business Center. Our team on the ground serves a local and foreign clientele in contentious and non-contentious matters in the country.

→ We are increasing our presence in the Democratic Republic of Congo, with colleagues present in Kinshasa to better serve our clientele in the country.

→ Our Africa team also has significant experience handling matters in Burundi, demonstrated by a strong track record of certain of our team members in transactions and projects in that jurisdiction.

Our Kigali office serves a gateway to other African jurisdictions based on our local team’s expertise assisting clients in other Francophone Africa countries such as Ivory Coast, Senegal and Guinea-Conakry, and Anglophone such as Tanzania and Nigeria.
