Strategic Consultation and Threat Analysis

We launch with an incisive consultation, diving into your specific needs—whether you’re a government entity, corporation, or individual. Our team analyzes your exposure to terrorism risks, reviewing operations in high-risk areas like Cameroon’s Far North. We align strategies with the 2014 Law on Suppression of Terrorism and international frameworks, such as UN Security Council resolutions, to craft a robust legal roadmap.

Compliance and Policy Development

We architect tailored compliance programs, ensuring adherence to Cameroon’s anti-terrorism laws and regional CEMAC regulations. Our attorneys design policies for businesses to counter terrorism financing and for public entities to align with national security directives, fortifying operations against regulatory scrutiny and threats.

Risk Mitigation and Advisory

We energize risk management by assessing vulnerabilities, such as supply chain disruptions or employee safety in conflict zones. Our team provides real-time advice on anti-money laundering (AML) protocols and sanctions compliance, leveraging Cameroon’s Financial Intelligence Unit (ANIF) guidelines to shield clients from terrorism-related liabilities.

Defense and Representation

We fiercely defend clients facing terrorism-related charges, such as alleged financing or material support, in Cameroonian courts. Our attorneys craft compelling defenses, navigate military tribunals where applicable, and ensure fair trials, drawing on constitutional protections and international human rights standards to uphold justice.

Dispute Resolution and Advocacy

We tackle disputes arising from terrorism laws, such as asset freezes or travel bans, through negotiation or litigation. Our team advocates before regulatory bodies or courts, using alternative dispute resolution to resolve conflicts efficiently while protecting client rights under Cameroon’s legal framework.

Training and Capacity Building

We empower clients with bespoke training on terrorism law compliance, including AML and counter-terrorism financing protocols.
