Strategic & Financial Advisory
Defining funding and growth strategies, valuing assets and businesses, structuring transactions. Providing decision-making support in high-stakes environments — political, economic and institutional.
Home / Areas of expertise
Four practices. One shared standard.
From strategic scoping to execution, our team supports you across the entire financing and transaction cycle.
Sovereign financing
Advisory to Governments and Corporates
The transactions we advise on commit public resources over decades, structure private wealth across generations, or reposition institutions at the scale of a continent. We bring to them sharp analytical acuity, technical mastery of complex financing, and the independence of judgement these decisions demand.
Decision support Strategic & financial advisory. In environments with high political, economic and institutional stakes.
Debt Restructuring
Analysis of financial liabilities, identification of room for manoeuvre, and the design of solutions that deliver lasting improvements in sustainability without compromising investment capacity. Precision work in sensitive contexts.
Infrastructure Financing
Structuring financing for large-scale projects — energy, transport, water and social infrastructure. Expertise in the contractual and financial arrangements that ensure a project’s bankability and guarantee its long-term viability.
Financial engineering Anticipating every constraint of the structure. Regulatory, market, lenders, operational: every dimension is built into the structuring.

Financing Structuring
Structuring a financing means anticipating regulatory constraints, market uncertainties, lender requirements and the operational imperatives of the project. Every arrangement we design is built for the project, its stakeholders and the markets that will finance it — with the rigour such complex transactions demand.

Identifying and implementing measures to extend maturities, reduce the cost of debt or free up investment capacity — both proactively and in times of financial strain.
M&A Africa
Mergers & Acquisitions
An M&A transaction in Africa involves dimensions beyond methodological rigour alone: shareholding structures, local regulatory contexts, and relationship dynamics that condition access to opportunities and the outcome of negotiations. We act on both sides of the deal, with precise knowledge of these environments.

On both sides of the deal Buy-side and sell-side alike. Precise knowledge of African regulatory and relationship environments.
Buy-Side Advisory
Identification and evaluation of acquisition opportunities, financial and operational analysis of targets, structuring of offers, and conducting negotiations. Access to off-market opportunities arising from long-standing relationships.
Sell-Side Advisory
Strategic preparation for the disposal, positioning of assets, management of the competitive process, and coordination of due diligence. Our aim: to maximise the value realised within a rigorous and controlled framework.
Post-Acquisition
The transaction does not end at closing. We support the integration phase — governance of the new entity, monitoring of synergies, and resolution of operational issues — to ensure that the anticipated value is actually realised.
