Clyde & Co LLP > Firm Profile
Clyde & Co is the only international law firm with a full service office in Tanzania; other firms have loose ‘associations’ with local law firms however they do not follow the Clyde & Co model of having an office where internationally qualified lawyers sit with Tanzanian qualified lawyers, each complementing the other. We are confident that our model provides a much more responsive service than our competitors. Clients receive the same level of service and responsiveness in our Dar es Salaam office as they do in our London office. Those who have done work in the region and in Tanzania in particular, often note that the biggest source of frustration can be the lack of consistency of advice from local counsel and the lack of responsiveness. This is not the case with Clyde & Co.
Clyde & Co Tanzania offers companies and investors the opportunity to source legal advice from one law firm across a wide spectrum of business lines, on both higher and lower value claims, volume work and across most jurisdictions. The understanding of the commercial sector, the closeness of relationships, economies of scale, swift referral to expertise and the commitment we offer provides significant benefits to our clients.
The firm’s strategic commitment to Tanzania through Clyde & Co Tanzania is well-placed as Tanzania, is poised for significant growth in the coming years, largely fuelled by foreign direct investment in the energy and mining sectors and a series of planned infrastructure projects. The increased investment in economic infrastructure will in turn lead to further opportunities through growth of the wider domestic economy.
Our Managing Partner Peter Kasanda leads the team in the Dar es Salaam office. He has extensive experience as an international lawyer with an Africa-focus, having worked for a leading law firm in London and in-house counsel at the African Development Bank. Peter is dual Tanzania and English law qualified.
Finally, Clyde & Co has a full service, state of the art office in Dar es Salaam. We are happy to host meetings to the extent they take place in Dar es Salaam, providing a centralised base for overseas clients to coordinate themselves effectively. Clyde & Co Tanzania is made up of five partnerrs and has over 30 staff.
