Contracts that hold up locally

Governing law, language, dispute forum and enforcement route need deliberate choices. A contract that is elegant in English and unenforceable in Maputo helps nobody.

Labour law is protective

Mozambican labour law provides substantial employee protection on fixed-term contracts, notice and termination. Advice before action is dramatically cheaper than advice afterwards.

Frequently asked questions

Do you provide the legal advice yourselves?

Formal legal opinions come from licensed Mozambican advocates. We scope, coordinate and hold the engagement accountable.

Can contracts be in English?

Bilingual contracts are common, but documents filed with authorities must be in Portuguese, and the Portuguese version usually prevails.
