Agreements That Actually Protect

Commercial agreements are the foundation of every business relationship. A poorly drafted contract — or none at all — leaves parties exposed when disputes arise or circumstances change.

Ntandoyakhe Mhlanga brings extensive experience drafting high-stakes commercial agreements for businesses across Botswana, including Joint Venture Agreements, Shareholders Agreements, and Sale of Business transactions.

In addition to transactional work, the firm provides Board Secretary services for corporate organisations — managing governance obligations, board minutes, and statutory compliance.

Areas Covered

  • Joint Venture Agreements (JVAs)
  • Shareholders Agreements
  • Sale of Business Agreements
  • Board Secretarial services
  • General commercial contract drafting & review
  • Company formation & regulatory compliance
  • Corporate governance advisory
