Practice areas

Corporate, commercial and private client services in Zambia.

Seven practice areas, each led by an admitted advocate, from company secretarial and board services to commercial transactions, conveyancing, estates, immigration, notarisation and debt collection.

Company Secretarial & Governance

We ensure your company remains in good standing with the Patents and Companies Registration Agency (PACRA), managing the statutory filings, board minutes and regulatory compliance that keep it sound. At board level, our experienced legal professionals serve as non-executive directors, bringing independent oversight, corporate governance expertise and strategic legal counsel to the decisions that shape your business.

  • Company secretarial services
  • Statutory filings with PACRA
  • Board meetings, minutes and resolutions
  • Regulatory compliance
  • Non-executive director services
  • Corporate governance advice

Commercial Transactions

Strategic legal support for established businesses and for those just starting out. We structure and document your transactions, review the agreements that bind you, and give trusted guidance tailored to your needs, so every decision is made with confidence.

  • Commercial transactions
  • Contract drafting and review
  • Legal consultation for businesses and individuals
  • Support for new and growing businesses

Conveyancing & Land Use

Property is often the largest transaction a person or business makes. We manage the legalities of buying, selling and leasing so the transfer is smooth and secure, and we apply for a change of land use on your behalf when your plans call for it.

  • Conveyancing: buying and selling property
  • Leases for residential and commercial property
  • Change of land use

Wills, Estates & Administration

A will that accurately reflects your wishes, and an estate plan that preserves your legacy and protects the people who depend on you. When a loved one has died, we guide the family through administering the estate, with or without a will.

  • Estate planning
  • Administration of testate estates (with a will)

Notarisation & Certification

Both our advocates are Commissioners for Oaths, so documents can be authenticated, sworn and certified in one visit.

  • Commissioning of oaths and general affidavits
  • Change of name by deed poll
  • Powers of attorney
