Position
Salvatrice is a attorney admitted to the Kinshasa Bar (2014) and a recognised authority on Congolese business law. She specialises in complex cross-border mergers and acquisitions, project finance, and infrastructure development, with a particular focus on the mining, energy, telecommunications, and transport sectors.
Her in-depth command of the DRC’s sectoral regulatory frameworks –including mining codes, energy regulations, and telecommunications licensing – makes her the go-to local counsel for top-tier international law firms and multinational corporations navigating high-stakes, multi-jurisdictional transactions.
Before founding LegalterLaw, she spent several years at Étude Kabinda Avocats DRC, one of the DRC’s most respected business law firms, where she honed her skills in corporate structuring, regulatory compliance, and project finance.
Salvatrice combines rigorous legal analysis with a pragmatic, solution-oriented approach – delivering clear, actionable advice that aligns with her clients’ strategic and operational objectives.
