Mozambican law firm Couto, Graça e Associados Limitada (CGA), based in Mozambique, has joined CMS as a member firm. The firm will be known as “Couto, Graça e Associados – member of CMS.”
Duncan Weston, Executive Partner at CMS, said, “Expanding our presence in Africa remains a business imperative for CMS. Many of CMS’s clients have multiple in-country operations in Africa and we are committed to ensuring they get the legal services they need to protect and develop their businesses. CGA has a reputation for outstanding service quality and extensive local market knowledge. This knowledge, combined with CMS’s expertise, will help us build a practice with a truly African identity.”
With the addition of CGA, CMS continues to strengthen its presence in Africa. CGA has an established presence in the African business and legal community and is the largest firm in Mozambique. CMS and CGA share strong synergies in the areas of natural resources and renewables, with other areas such as commercial law, dispute resolution and litigation also providing opportunities for cross-border advisory and transaction work for both firms.
