The Credence team acts as trusted legal advisors to international and regional funds, including venture capital and growth capital funds, that are powering innovation out of Africa. We have a deep understanding of the African venture capital market, and clients are increasingly relying on our expertise for legal advice, including structuring, drafting, negotiating and reviewing documentation relating to fund formation, fund management and operation, and investments in portfolio companies in Africa. Notably, we have had the privilege of representing international VC and growth equity firms in early-stage investments, growth-stage investments, late-stage investments and bridge financing of portfolio companies across Africa. 

Our combined experience over the years has also positioned us to advise sophisticated institutional investors and high-net-worth individuals as limited partners in funds, enabling us to have a bright understanding of the interests—both aligned and divergent—of general partners and limited partners.
