Legal Services

Two practice groups.
One unwavering standard.

Our team's expertise is organised into two core disciplines — each delivered with the same commitment to precision, strategy, and client-first thinking.

Practice Group 01

Corporate & Commercial Services

Our Corporate & Commercial team focuses on the transactional and regulatory aspects of our clients' operations — from inception to international growth.

Planning & Administrative Services

We structure, form, register and administer trusts, companies, and other going concerns. We incorporate private limited companies, private business corporations, and draft pre-incorporation agreements.

Mergers & Acquisitions

Our team advises on competition law compliance and conducts corporate due diligence. We assist in structuring and executing high-value mergers, acquisitions, and disposals.

Restructuring, IPOs & Securities Law

We advise on share capital changes, rights issues, and allotments. We structure initial public offerings and ensure compliance with listing requirements and Securities Exchange Commission regulations.

Commercial Agreements & Instruments

We structure, draft, and review sale agreements, lease agreements, hire purchase contracts, brokerage arrangements, powers of attorney, and other commercial instruments.

Corporate Secretarial Services

We advise on and convene general meetings, board meetings, and statutory meetings. We draft minutes, resolutions, and provide ongoing company secretariat support.

Insolvency

We provide advice and representation in bankruptcy and rehabilitation proceedings, judicial management, company reconstruction, and liquidation — including cross-border insolvency matters.

Instruments of Payment & Guarantee

We advise on the most appropriate payment and guarantee instruments for local and international purchase agreements and project financings.

International Trade & Project Finance

We assist clients in exploring financing options including loans, credit facilities, and limited-recourse structures — implementing arrangements best suited to each project's risk profile.

Investment Law

We assist foreign clients in establishing a local presence, obtaining necessary licences, regulatory approvals, and exemptions. We advise on cross-border trade and corporate finance under Zimbabwean law.

Collections & Debt Recovery

With extensive experience managing collections portfolios for banks and financial institutions, we provide specialist services in debt securing, restructuring, securitisation, and foreclosure.

Property Law, Conveyancing & Notarial Practice

Our dedicated conveyancers and notaries draft, execute, and register all notarial deed types. We handle property transfers, mortgage bonds, notarial bonds, and town planning applications.

Immigration Law

We advise on visa applications, residence permits, citizenship and naturalisation, deportation matters, and employment arrangements for non-citizens.

Family & Private Law

We draft and register family trusts, set up family trust funds, and execute wills. Our team also specialises in divorce mediation, conciliation, and litigation.

Labour & Employment Law

We draft and review human resources policies and employment agreements. We represent clients in labour mediation, conciliation, arbitration, and litigation before the relevant authorities.

Energy & Mining Law

We structure mining tributes, leases, and joint ventures. We advise on statutory compliance, energy sector regulatory registrations, import and export licences, and power purchase agreements.

Tax Law

We help clients navigate Zimbabwe's tax statutes and plan their affairs strategically to reduce their tax burden within the bounds of the law.

Government Contracting & Public Procurement

We draft and structure government tender bids and advise clients supplying goods and services to government departments on procurement legislation compliance.

General Lobbying

Where clients seek to influence specific legislation, regulation, or government policy, we lobby on their behalf with strategic precision and a thorough understanding of the regulatory environment.

Practice Group 02

Litigation & Dispute Resolution

Our litigators combine courtroom experience with strategic commercial thinking — whether the matter is resolved in court or around the table.

Civil Litigation

Highly experienced in business and corporate litigation, our team represents both plaintiffs and defendants — providing effective legal strategies and guidance regardless of which side of the dispute a client occupies.

Professional Negligence Litigation

We are equally skilled in drafting and prosecuting professional negligence claims as we are in defending against them — across a range of regulated professions, with whom we maintain a cordial professional liaison.

Appeals & Appellate Litigation

We represent clients in appeal proceedings at all levels, providing considered and strategically sound appellate advocacy to challenge or defend decisions of lower courts and tribunals.

Alternative Dispute Resolution

Our team is experienced in collective bargaining, mediation, conciliation, and arbitration — offering clients a pathway to resolution that is often faster, more private, and more cost-effective than litigation.

Criminal Litigation

We provide representation in criminal proceedings, bringing the same rigour and preparation to criminal defence as we bring to all our other practice areas.

Fee Structure. Our fees are guided by the tariff of the Law Society of Zimbabwe. Where the law permits, fees are negotiated individually with each client — taking into account the importance, urgency, and complexity of the matter at hand.
