about REX advocates
REX has a long history of practicing law in Tanzania with unrivalled knowledge of the legal and regulatory regime for doing business in the country. Previously practicing as REX Attorneys, in 2015 some of the REX partners became part of ENSafrica, (www.ensafrica.com) a regional practice present in seven other African countries, in which the REX partners sought to leverage their ability to access the growing African transactional portfolio and regional infrastructure projects. REX partners had to re-organize again in August 2019, due to the enactment of local content laws and regulations, which restrict practice in the natural resources sector to law firms fully owned by citizens without affiliation to foreign firms. Even though the Firm was fully Tanzanian owned, the affiliation with the regional practice would render the Firm unqualified for local content purposes. Despite the changes, the REX team remains intact and as strong as has always been.
The Firm provides a full-service corporate commercial practice to both local and international clientele, covering a wide range of business areas, including natural resources (mining, oil & gas) and energy; competition; mergers and acquisitions; banking and finance services; tax advice and tax litigation; employment law; intellectual property; insolvency; company secretarial & legal compliance services; legislative and regulatory regime review, property law & conveyancing, and commercial litigation and arbitration.
