Experts in the service of your governance.

A legal advisory firm dedicated to OHADA business law, with a dual presence in Dakar and Abidjan.

NILAURA Advisory brings together experts in law and compliance, advising executives, companies and institutions across the OHADA region.

From corporate governance to securing contractual commitments, from regulatory compliance to protecting intangible assets, the firm covers the entire legal chain of the company with unwavering rigour.

Our expertise model

A structured expertise, assembled for each engagement.

Our support does not rest on a single skill set but on structured expertise. NILAURA Advisory mobilises, within its network of experts, the appropriate competencies in governance, contracts, compliance, intellectual property, training and market entry.

Each engagement brings together the expertise the situation calls for. This networked organisation guarantees the client specialised competence on every issue, held to a common standard.

A network of licensed professionals

Where a matter requires a regulated profession, NILAURA Advisory relies on a network of lawyers, statutory auditors and notaries. The firm designs and steers the strategy; official instruments are entrusted to licensed practitioners, in strict respect of their prerogatives.

Local roots

Two business hubs, one shared space of law.

NILAURA Advisory combines a dual presence in Dakar and Abidjan, at the heart of the OHADA region. The firm pairs deep knowledge of both business hubs with command of a uniform body of law shared by seventeen States.

These roots allow the firm to advise its clients both domestically and in their cross-border operations, with equal legal certainty.

Founding Partner

The founder

A founding partner, a network of experts.

NILAURA Advisory was founded and is led by its founding partner, who designs the legal strategy of each engagement and, where the matter so requires, engages the firm’s network of lawyers, notaries and statutory auditors.

Our values

What grounds our practice.

Anticipation

Preventing risk before it materialises: our advice secures upstream what neglect would later make costly.

Probity

Integrity as a principle: the firm serves the client’s interest in strict compliance with professional ethics and the rule of law.

Transparency

A relationship without grey areas: clarity of advice, legibility of our work, and candour about the limits of our scope of intervention.
