Joseph Désiré ALOBE

Freelance Business Lawyer — OHADA Law · Ivory Coast · Structuring & legal secretarial work

Based in Abidjan, I have been supporting managers, entrepreneurs and investors for more than 10 years in the legal security of their activities — mainly in the OHADA area, this common business law that applies to 17 African countries including Côte d'Ivoire.

I have developed a conviction over the course of the cases: a company that is well structured legally from the outset avoids years of complications. And this work doesn't necessarily require an in-house lawyer — that's exactly where my role comes in.

My areas of intervention:
- Drafting and securing of commercial contracts in accordance with OHADA law
- Legal structuring (choice of corporate form, pacts, governance according to the Uniform Acts)
- Implementation of internal procedures manuals
- Support in obtaining professional approvals (Côte d'Ivoire / UEMOA zone)
- Outsourced legal secretariat (minutes of meetings, RCCM register, legal formalities)
- Legal monitoring and regulatory analysis in Côte d'Ivoire and sub-region

For whom?
- Local entrepreneurs,
- Foreign investors entering the Ivorian or West African market,
- Growing VSEs and SMEs looking for structuring legal support.

I am available for an initial exchange to identify your needs and see how I can be of service to you.
