Corporate Counsel Forum Africa 2019 | ALM Media, LLC | 5 September 2019 | The Wanderers Club, 21 North St, Illovo, Johannesburg, 2196, South Africa

The 8th Annual Corporate Counsel Forum Africa will unite the region's leading general counsel and senior in-house counsel to discuss, debate and deliver vital insights into the changing dynamic of the African legal market.

Africa is one of the most sophisticated, diverse and promising emerging markets in the world today. Its vibrant market conditions, world-class infrastructure, and growing industrial capabilities makes it an attractive prospect for businesses looking to expand in the region.

But despite its seemingly buoyant economy in the last few years, persistent political tensions and economic instability remains a key concern for the African legal community.
