Following several years of research and teaching, punctuated by the publication of numerous peer-reviewed articles on business law in Africa, I found it timely to bring these writings together in one place.
Inspired by the ancient phrase of Pliny the Elder — Ex Africa semper aliquid novi (“from Africa, always something new”) — Lex Africa Semper reflects the same spirit. The law across the continent is constantly evolving, shaped by global challenges while grappling with the unique complexities of its diverse legal traditions and historical legacies.
What may appear at first glance as a collection of eclectic topics in fact reveals deeper intricacies and intersecting perspectives.
My journey through this work has led me to explore a range of professional, geographical, and intellectual horizons — each reflecting the complexity and dynamism of a continent at a crossroads in its development.
Some of the texts presented here were co-authored, and in this compilation I also wish to acknowledge the valuable collaborations and encounters that have shaped my path. These are rooted in a deep passion for Africa, and it is my hope that this site will continue to share and extend that commitment with others.
