Our Expertise

The Vula Law team offers specialised skills and good experience across the African continent.  We can assist you with cross-border projects and other operations on the continent.

Corporate and Commercial Law

Sustained competitive advantage means you understand the legal aspects of the business opportunities and challenges that you face.

Our lawyers are experienced in all things corporate and commercial.  We have advised both public and private entities on complex matters, ranging from mergers and acquisitions, BEE structuring, contract drafting and negotiations, corporate governance advisory, and much more.

Dispute Resolution

Life doesn’t always go as planned. When things go wrong we can help resolve disputes.

Our lawyers are experts when it comes to dispute resolution, whether commercial, regulatory or labour matters. We provide tailor-made dispute resolution services that are suited to your unique circumstances. Our approach is to try to resolve disputes in the most cost-effective way possible.  We have experience in both local and international arbitrations.   

Energy

Transitioning from coal to gas and renewable energy lies at the core of the African Renaissance

We have credible experience in renewable, nuclear and fossil fuel energy projects. We have a good understanding of the practical implications and the legislation regulating these sectors. Our members have been involved in several of Africa’s pioneering energy projects.

Finance

We advise African financial service providers on a wide range of their legal needs

Vula Law’s members have worked on the legal aspects of complex finance and banking-related projects.  Our members have a broad understanding of finance-related transactions such as structured and unstructured finance, real estate finance, commodities and derivatives, preference share finance, and debt and insolvency.

Infrastructure

We support our clients through every phase of an infrastructure project – from concept to closure

Statistics show that intra-African infrastructure is poor, making it difficult for intra-African trade in commodities, services and goods. Our sector expertise makes rail, road, port and social development projects easy to navigate.  We offer experience and expertise in Public Private Partnerships. We have also built a solid knowledge database by advising multinational companies on the construction and maintenance of communications infrastructure such as data centres and fibre optic networks.

Information Technology

African is undergoing its own digital revolution, sometimes leading the world with its innovations

Technology is changing at a rapid pace. The world is moving toward inventing new industrial models and building smarter cities. With the 4th Industrial Revolution (4IR) comes new laws and regulations regulating issues like telecommunications, broadband data, privacy, identity, cybersecurity and artificial intelligence. This means having expert lawyers at your side. Our members have extensive local and international experience in the information and communications technology (ICT) space. 

Mining and Natural Resources

Unlocking the continent’s mineral wealth in a sustainable way is key to African prosperity

Mining and natural resources is a large industry with many moving parts. Africa is blessed with a rich bounty of natural resources with the continent holding around 30% of the world’s known mineral reserves. Our members have acted for local and international clients throughout Africa on matters relating to a number of large, high-profile natural resource and mining projects.

Telecommunications

The future of the African telecommunication sector is very promising

The telecommunications industry is constantly evolving and complex in nature. Our members have assisted many clients in responding to and navigating policy and regulatory developments. Our expertise includes advising on ICASA licensing and compliance, spectrum, B-BBEE and/or local content requirements, license transfer applications, and other telecommunications-specific transactions.
