No legal advice

The content of this website is general information about Cameroonian, OHADA, CEMAC and related law. It is not legal advice, it cannot take account of your circumstances, and it may not reflect changes in the law after publication. Do not act, or refrain from acting, on the basis of anything published here without obtaining advice on your specific situation.

No lawyer–client relationship

Reading this website, sending us an enquiry, or receiving an initial response does not create a lawyer–client relationship. That relationship begins only when we have completed our conflict and identity checks and both parties have signed a written engagement letter setting out the scope of work and the fee.

Confidentiality of unsolicited information

Please do not send us confidential or privileged material before we have confirmed that we are able to act for you. Information sent before an engagement is in place may not be protected, and may not prevent us from acting for another party in the same matter.

Fees

Our fees are agreed in writing before work begins. Advisory and transactional work is normally quoted as a fixed fee; contentious work is billed on an agreed structure with defined stages. No fee is incurred by contacting us to ask whether we can help.

Links to other sites

Where we link to a third-party website we do so for convenience only. We do not control those sites and accept no responsibility for their content or for any use you make of them.

Intellectual property

The text, design, structure and graphics of this website belong to Fonju Law Firm unless stated otherwise. You may read, print and quote short extracts with attribution and a link. Systematic reproduction, republication or commercial use requires our written permission.

Limitation of liability

We take care to keep this website accurate and available, but we give no warranty that it is complete, current or uninterrupted. To the fullest extent permitted by law we exclude liability for loss arising from reliance on the content of this website by anyone who is not a client acting under a signed engagement letter.

Governing law

This notice and any dispute arising from your use of this website are governed by the law of the Republic of Cameroon, and the courts of Douala have jurisdiction.
