OHADA law and regional law

OHADA law and regional law

The Organization for the Harmonization of Business Law in Africa (OHADA) was created by the Treaty of Port-Louis of October 17, 1993, as revised on October 17, 2008 in Quebec City, and is made up today of 17 Member States, namely Benin, Burkina Faso, Cameroon, Central African Republic, Chad, Comoros, Congo, Côte d’Ivoire, Democratic Republic of Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Gabon, Guinea, Guinea Bissau, Mali, Niger, Senegal and Togo.

The OHADA unified business law is the result of 10 Uniform Acts relating to general commercial law, the law of securities, the law of commercial companies and economic interest groups, simplified procedures for recovery and enforcement, collective procedures for the settlement of liabilities, accounting law, transport of goods by road, the law of cooperative societies, arbitration law and mediation.

Thanks to their experience, our lawyers have developed a knowledge of OHADA law but also of regional regulations, in particular the WAEMU (UEMOA), CAEMC (CEMAC) and ECOWAS (CEDEAO) law.
