Finance & Regulatory
Investments & Securities
Fund formation, capital raising, securities regulation and investor protection in the CEMAC market.
We advise issuers, investors, fund managers and intermediaries on raising and deploying capital in Central Africa. That includes public offerings and private placements on the regional market supervised by COSUMAF, as well as private equity, venture and development finance transactions with foreign sponsors.
Structuring for the exit
The time to think about how an investor leaves is before the money arrives. We build drag-along, tag-along, pre-emption and put-option mechanics that are enforceable under OHADA company law rather than copied from a foreign precedent that will not survive a Cameroonian court.
Fundraising documentation
We prepare partnership agreements, subscription documents, management and compensation agreements, and close fund formation transactions, coordinating with tax advisers and auditors so that the structure works commercially as well as legally.
