Market notes

What is actually driving mandates, market by market

Meridian notes are revised as the tracker changes. Counts show transactions on record in the last 12 months.

Africa market coverage

Nigeria

22 tracked

Recapitalisation-driven financial-services work, Free Zone equity listings and a deepening domestic bond market. Domestic firm panels are getting larger, not smaller.

South Africa

12 tracked

The continent's most sophisticated legal market and the most exposed to global commodity cycles. Canal+ and MultiChoice and Anglo American and Teck both ran through Johannesburg counsel.

Egypt

23 tracked

State privatisation and data-centre capital are the two mandate engines. Egyptian counsel are increasingly a discrete workstream rather than managed from London.

Ghana

7 tracked

A reported US$19.9bn transaction alongside thin equity capital markets volume. Deep in talent and shallow in flow, a mismatch that favours firms with referral networks.

Kenya

10 tracked

Pan-African private equity's default East African venue, and the bridge jurisdiction for Ethiopian capital-markets work.

Morocco

19 tracked

Casablanca equity capital markets have reopened and domestic funds are originating deals without international sponsors.

Francophone Africa

23 tracked

OHADA-zone deal flow is growing and is rarely covered by Anglophone directories. Meridian tracks it as a market in its own right.

East Africa beyond Kenya

5 tracked

On the record by market: Tanzania 2, Uganda 2, Mauritius 1. Most active sector: Healthcare and Pharmaceuticals. Counts recalculate as transactions are added.
