What the team is known for

Eversheds Sutherland operates a robust Africa projects practice out of the firm's Dubai, Paris and Tunis offices. It is often retained by governments, state-owned entities, institutional investors and power producers across anglophone, francophone and lusophone jurisdictions. The team offers specific expertise across renewable power project development, with further knowledge of infrastructure financing. The firm benefits from its Africa Alliance when advising on matters across the continent.

Strengths

"I'm extremely satisfied with the quality of their work. They have very good knowledge of energy and an excellent understanding of African markets."

"Eversheds has an excellent standard of service levels combined with the ideal rate of responsiveness."

Work highlights

An Eversheds team in Portugal acted for TotalEnergies Renewables on its acquisition from the Eren Group of a controlling stake in a special purpose vehicle developing a significant solar energy project in Angola.

Notable practitioners

Key contacts include Dubai-based Clint Dempsey and Tunis office managing partner Farès Koussay El Heni. Porto-based João Robles is a key contact for matters in lusophone Africa.
