Too often, major investment agreements are shaped by unequal access to expertise and resources. We rebalance that equation. Drawing on deep experience in structuring complex transactions, we now deploy that knowledge to advance the interests of African states—designing contracts that are fair, transparent, and aligned with national development priorities. In arbitration and dispute resolution, we provide the sophisticated representation needed to protect sovereignty and public assets.

Development projects should create shared prosperity, not bypass the communities whose lands and livelihoods are most affected. Yamalé Advisory ensures that communities are partners in development, not casualties of it. We support governments in drafting legislation that makes community participation legal requirements, negotiate Community Development Agreements that secure tangible returns, and strengthen community capacity to enforce their rights—ensuring law becomes the tool through which communities assert their agency.

As development funding shifts, governments face growing pressure to build resilient systems on their own. We help translate ambition into implementation—structuring transparent procurement processes, drafting enabling legislation, and strengthening the regulatory frameworks that underpin sectors like health, agriculture, and infrastructure. Our work combines legal precision with systems thinking to create reforms that are both functional and enforceable.
