Epena Law: Advising Clients on Corporate Transactions Across the African Continent

Johanna Monthe, Partner at Epena Law, a legal practice specialized in serving the needs of corporates, investment funds, growth companies and financial institutions by providing advisory services on a wide range of corporate and commercial transactions, explains what makes the firm stand out from the competition.

“In Africa, very few firms specialize in investment funds such as private equity and venture capital, so most fund managers have to go abroad. They spend time in France, Mauritius or the UK to get the skills they need to set up their investment funds. One thing that sets us apart from other law firms is that we can attract both African and European clients because we have the same skillsets. We also work across the African continent. Even our brand name, Epena, is the name of the city at the very center of Africa. We have been very intentional about it. We are based in Cameroon, Nigeria and elsewhere, so what we are doing in practice is covering the whole continent. And this is what investment funds do in any event. I am licensed to practice in the UK, the US, France and Cameroon, which gives me a better understanding of the issues that investors in Africa may face based on their regulatory constraints. That is an important feature of our offering”, says Johanna Monthe.
