Strategy & Management Consulting
Legal and tax counsel secures a decision; it does not, on its own, shape one. Alongside our advisory practices, we help boards and executive committees define the strategy itself — where to grow, how to organise, and how to convert a plan agreed in a meeting room into performance on the ground.

Frequently asked questions
Is this a separate team from your legal and tax practices?
It draws on the same partners and the same knowledge of the region, applied to strategy and organisation rather than to a legal or tax question. Most engagements in this practice touch at least one other — market entry raises regulatory questions, restructuring raises employment ones — and we staff them together rather than handing you off between teams.
Do you work on business plans intended for lenders or investors, or only internal planning?
Both. We build business plans and feasibility studies to be shown to a bank, a development finance institution or a co-investor, as well as internal planning documents that never leave the boardroom — the rigour is the same either way.
A matter in strategy?
