The East Africa Legal Excellence Academy was designed specifically to expose banking and finance lawyers to a variety of financing topics including Principles and approaches to finance documentation, Granting and taking security in East Africa, Public Private Partnerships in transactions, China Finance and dealing with Chinese counterparties and Debt Capital Markets. The training was sponsored by Baker Mckenzie, White & Case, ALSF, Kaplan & Stratton, ENSafrica and Kieti Advocates. The sessions were delivered by experienced practitioners in the field including members of ILFA’s East Africa alumni. The event which took place in Kigali, Rwanda in November 2019, was organised in partnership with the East Africa Law Society and was attended by lawyers from Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Rwanda, Burundi and Ethiopia.
