Capabilities
Ten capabilities, built around the decisions our clients actually face.
Clients do not buy departments. Each capability below is organised around a problem — the kind that arrives with a board paper attached and a deadline that has already passed.
How the work is delivered
Africa’s most consequential mandates rarely respect the boundaries between disciplines. An energy project is a financing question, a regulatory question, a construction question and, in time, a disputes question. Our capabilities are designed to be combined — a client engaging one has the whole firm behind it.

One delivery standard, whichever capability you engage.
These are the four tests institutional readers apply — and the words lenders, boards and auditors use when they apply them.
Financeability
Capital, cashflows, security and enforcement aligned as one system, so projects reach close and stay durable.
Auditability
Risk registers, decision logs, approvals routing and version control that withstand review after the fact.
Enforceability
Dispute architecture and arbitration readiness designed at the outset, because enforceability cannot be retrofitted.
Execution governance
A single accountable partner per mandate, controlled escalation, and reporting matched to the complexity of the work.
Complex institution. Consequential decision. Speak with a Ligomarc partner.
Tell us the nature of the matter and we will route it to the partner accountable for that work.
