Pedro Macaringue, Senior Partner at Ope Legis, explains what are the main challenges to be faced by foreign investors when they arrive in Mozambique.
"The first problem is the language. Most lawyers in the country are not prepared to discuss matters in foreign languages. The second problem are the taxes. There are many government and private institution taxes to be paid before investing. And lastly, after all documentations is taken care of, there’s the problem of finding qualified personnel. Luckily, Mozambique has been improving the offer of universities and technical schools, making our work easier. In conclusion, we assist the client, not only in legal terms, but also in organizational terms, finding workers for specific areas, such as gas, minerals, oil, energy, transportation, etc", says Pedro Macaringue.
