Government Representation in
High-Stakes Negotiations
World-Class Legal Expertise in Service of African States
When African governments negotiate major investments—in mining, energy, infrastructure, or public-private partnerships—they face well-resourced counterparts backed by elite legal teams. These negotiations shape national development for decades, yet the imbalance in expertise often results in agreements that limit fiscal flexibility and erode sovereignty.
Yamalé Alliance exists to change that dynamic.
We provide African governments with sophisticated legal representation in complex negotiations and international arbitration. Our team brings years of experience structuring major transactions—expertise we now deploy exclusively in the interest of African states.
