Our legal practitioners bring extensive experience across civil, commercial, criminal, constitutional, and regulatory matters. We provide clear, candid advice that helps you understand your legal position and make informed decisions with confidence.
Work With Legal Experts
Every client matter is handled by qualified legal practitioners who combine technical expertise with commercial awareness. Our team understands both the letter of the law and the practical realities of doing business and living life in Zambia.
Competitive & Transparent Fees
We believe that access to quality legal representation should not come with financial uncertainty. Our firm provides transparent fee structures, ensuring you understand the cost of your legal matter from the outset — with no hidden surprises.
Thorough Review & Sound Advice
We take the time to examine every aspect of your matter with precision. From reviewing contracts and conducting due diligence to preparing pleadings and negotiating settlements, our approach is methodical, detail-oriented, and focused on achieving the best possible outcome for you.
Legal Practice Areas
Mesdames Jane Jere Legal Practitioners provides comprehensive legal services across virtually every area of Zambian law. From complex commercial transactions and high-stakes litigation to sensitive family matters and regulatory compliance, our firm has the expertise to guide you through every legal challenge with skill and integrity.
Administrative Law
Government bodies and public authorities in Zambia must exercise their powers lawfully, reasonably, and fairly. We advise individuals, businesses, and organisations affected by administrative decisions, and represent clients in judicial review proceedings before the High Court where a public authority has acted unlawfully, irrationally, or in breach of proper procedure.
Alternative Dispute Resolution
Not every dispute needs to be resolved in a courtroom. We advise clients on the full range of alternative dispute resolution mechanisms available under Zambian law — including arbitration, mediation, conciliation, and negotiated settlement — helping you choose the pathway that achieves resolution most efficiently, cost-effectively, and with the least disruption to your relationships or operations.
Arbitration
Arbitration offers a private, binding, and often faster alternative to litigation, particularly for commercial and international disputes. We represent clients in domestic and international arbitration proceedings under the Zambian Arbitration Act, draft and review arbitration clauses in commercial contracts, and act in the enforcement of arbitral awards before the Zambian courts.
Banking & Finance
The financial sector in Zambia operates within a complex and evolving regulatory framework. Our banking and finance team advises financial institutions, lenders, borrowers, and investors on loan facility structuring, security arrangements, trade finance, Bank of Zambia licensing, syndicated lending, and loan restructuring and workouts.
Civil Litigation
When disputes arise — between individuals, businesses, or institutions — resolving them efficiently and effectively is paramount. Our litigation team represents clients at every level of the Zambian court system, from the Magistrates Court to the Supreme Court, in contract disputes, debt recovery, professional negligence claims, property disputes, and tortious claims.
Company Secretarial Services
Every company in Zambia carries ongoing statutory and governance obligations. We provide company secretarial services including maintenance of statutory registers, preparation of board and shareholder resolutions, filing of annual returns with PACRA, and management of share allotments and transfers — keeping your company fully compliant year-round.
Note:
The firm also provides legal services across all additional areas listed in the brief, including Criminal Law, Constitutional Law, Administrative Law, Employment & Labour Law, Tax Law, Intellectual Property, Mining Law, Energy Law, Environmental Law, Insolvency & Restructuring, Debt Recovery, Arbitration, Mediation, Estate Planning, Probate, NGO & Non-Profit Advisory, Investment Advisory, Public Procurement, Competition Law, Human Rights, and International Business Transactions — these should all appear on the full Services/Practice Areas page.
Experienced Legal Practitioners Committed to Your Success
The strength of a law firm lies in the quality of its people. At Mesdames Jane Jere Legal Practitioners, our team of qualified and dedicated legal practitioners brings together deep expertise across multiple practice areas, a commitment to ethical practice, and a genuine investment in each client’s outcome. We take the time to understand your legal matter in full — so that the advice and representation we provide is always precisely tailored to your circumstances, your objectives, and your long-term interests.
