— Who We Are

Who are the strategic legal advisors at Qerens Consilium?

In an increasingly interdependent world, it is critical for both domestic and international corporations to constantly adapt to ever changing legal and regulatory environments influenced by globalised concepts and international best practices and at the same time address the needs and aspirations of the societies in which they conduct business. Current events and trends across the globe bear testimony to this fact.

As a result, legal service providers cannot afford to ignore the issues that shape the business of the clients they serve. There is the need to have sound knowledge and understanding of the business environment of clients and anticipate and advise on issues that may not be conventional issues of law. The objective is to be a trusted advisor to our clients, and this is what we at Qerens Consilium strive to achieve.

Qerens Consilium is more than a conventional legal practice. We are a boutique law firm providing strategic legal counsel for complex corporate finance, power, natural resources including oil and gas, taxation, sports and dispute matters. The firm combines in-depth transactional experience, commercial judgment and policy awareness to help clients structure opportunities, anticipate and reduce risk and build sustainable enterprises for stakeholders. We prioritise practical counsel beyond black-letter law.

What is our cross-border legal strategy?

We realise that law can no longer be practiced in isolation or as a completely stand-alone profession. The firm has built strong relationships with a network of other professionals and public servants who enrich our knowledge and understanding of the various areas in which we advise. The invaluable perspectives from our network as it affects the area of law in question cannot be overemphasised.

Our lawyers have diverse experience in industry and other disciplines, from international relations to banking to having had international taxation experience in France and a working knowledge of French.

What philosophy guides our practice?

"God’s law is right reason. When perfectly understood, it is called wisdom. When applied by government in regulating human relations, it is called justice."
— Marcus Tullius Cicero (106 BC – 43BC)

"We are bound by the law so that we might be free"
— Marcus Tullius Cicero
