Practice Areas

We provide legal advisory services in banking and finance, supporting clients in structuring and negotiating financial transactions that comply with Somali laws and international standards. Our expertise covers conventional and Islamic finance, loan and security agreements, investment documentation, and financial regulatory compliance. We assist financial institutions, investors, and corporate clients in navigating complex financial regulations, ensuring that all transactions are legally sound, enforceable, and aligned with best practices.

Drafting and reviewing contracts is a cornerstone of our legal advisory services. In Somalia, contracts must reflect both legal standards and cultural expectations. We prepare clear, enforceable agreements for leases, memoranda of understanding (MoUs), and partnership arrangements, tailored to the Somali context. We also review existing contracts to identify risks and ensure that terms are fair and legally binding. Our goal is to protect our clients’ interests and foster trust in business relationships through sound legal documentation.

We assist in drafting legislation, reviewing regulatory instruments, and advising on institutional reforms that promote transparency, accountability, and effective governance. Our team works closely with stakeholders to design policies that address national priorities, enhance public service delivery, and support sustainable development.
