Rex Advocates

Rex Advocates is a well -established premier law firm in Tanzania with a long-standing track record of successfully showcasing a wealth of experience and unrivalled knowledge of the legal and regulatory regime for doing business in the country on ground-breaking and business-critical mandates. Previously practised as Rex Attorneys, in 2015 some of the REX partners became part of a regional practice present in seven other African countries, in which the REX partners sought to leverage their ability to access the growing African transactional portfolio and regional infrastructure projects. Following the enactment of local content laws and regulations, which restrict practice in the natural resources sector to law firms fully owned by citizens without affiliation to foreign firms, REX partners had to re-organize again in August 2019. Even though the Firm was fully Tanzanian owned, the affiliation with the regional practice would render the Firm unqualified for local content purposes. Despite the changes, the REX team remains intact and as strong as has always been. Through offering a wide range of sector expertise, with high-calibre domestic and international clients in the oil and gas, telecoms, mining and banking sectors. The firm always challenge themselves to bring new and original ways of thinking to the complex legal challenges their clients face. With keen focus and smart efforts on exceeding clients’ expectations, the firm specialises in advising clients from a wide array of sectors comprising of corporates from commercial and industrial sectors, governments, regulators, and trade bodies. Rex Attorneys are committed to quality and providing value, whilst also priding themselves on quality control over all deliverables and team based way of working.
