This exclusive program of events, organised in collaboration with Africa Legal, took place in March 2024, with the delegation visiting Nairobi in Kenya and Dar es Salaam in Tanzania.

The delegation also had the privilege of visiting the impressive Two Rivers International Finance & Innovation Centre, which focuses on the promotion of business, development of affordable housing and construction of the largest solar park in Kenya.

The highlight of the programme was the roundtable discussions, which provided us with a unique opportunity to engage with some of the most experienced legal professionals in East Africa. These interactive sessions facilitated insightful conversations and the exchange of best practices.
