Legal assistance

Too often, foreign companies go on for « information fishing » to learn about the legislation applicable in the country chosen for investment. Little space is left beforehand, for reflection on the use or adaptation of existing legal forms of entities, on the importance of social and cultural practices but also on the correct application of the rules of good governance.

It is essential that your company is protected and legally covered in its negotiations to enter the market. M&H Consulting Africa assists you, with bilingual and experienced professionals in local law but also in international rules, for the analysis and drafting of the following:

Contracts and agreements in connection with the purchase and sale of companies or assets;
Drafting of articles of association followed by the creation of companies
Annual Legal Secretarial
Employment contracts, supplier/distributor contracts
Advice on the legal and tax consequences of restructuring, mergers, acquisitions, partial asset transfers, etc.
Legal structuring with inclusion of holding company
Enforcement of Data Privacy rules

Tax Assistance

There has never been a better opportunity to penetrate the African market than now. Indeed, we notice the opening of major projects and the important loans made by the World Bank, the FMI or other international organisations in Africa. However, the strengthening of the rules of globalisation has pushed many local governments to adopt an « aggressive » approach to taxation of profits or businesses in their territories.

M&H Consulting Africa, with our experienced partners, accompany you, and above all, guide you on the understanding and adaptability of taxation for a better use of African resources in the development of your activities. Our experts have the skills to assist you on:

Advice to companies on local and international taxation
Assistance with tax audits and litigation
Tax review of current years in advance of a tax audit
Preparation of corporate tax and social security returns and relevant tax compliance
Assistance in preparation of local transfer pricing documentation

Accounting & financial assistance

It is essential that a newly created company, in its investing or expanding phase, has the right partner to support its financial choices, management and investment decisions that will forge a solid foundation for its growth on African territory.
