Sectors

Where our compliance operating system is deepest.

Three sectors form the core of our practice, aligned with U.S. strategic priorities in African markets: critical minerals, energy, and infrastructure. Four additional sectors are offered on a selective engagement-basis where the compliance and execution model fits.

  • 3 core sectors
  • 4 selective sectors
  • Compliance-first

Energy & Power

Power generation, energy access, and gas-to-power, including the energy that supports digital infrastructure. Oil-and-gas engagements are supported with heightened compliance diligence.

Typical work: counterparty diligence on IPPs and utilities; sanctions and PEP screening on sponsors; validation memos for DFC/EXIM structuring.

Trade corridors, transport, and logistics infrastructure, from feasibility through compliant local execution. Anchored around the Lobito Corridor.

Typical work: corridor and project validation; counterparty diligence on concessionaires and contractors; DFI-readiness assessments.

Selective

Selective sectors

Digital Infrastructure & Data Centers

Data-center and connectivity projects, and the power that supports them, under U.S. governance standards. Selective because delivery depends on local power and permits realities that vary by market.
