Subject matter expert Jennifer Chimanga (nee Mbaluto) from Clifford Chance is welcomed back as the host of the course, and Africa Legal is delighted to introduce Gabriel Onaguruwa from leading Nigerian firm Olaniwun and Ajayi LP, and Rebecca Clark from IPOS Mediation, to provide international and local perspectives throughout the course.
The course is free and is available on the Africa Legal Learn platform here.
