Where a financing involves Angolan assets, companies or security, disbursement often turns on a local law confirmation covering the capacity of the parties, the validity of the documents, the creation, perfection and publicity requirements applicable to the security, its priority and enforceability.
CAZOS acts for banks, development finance institutions, security agents, lending syndicates and international counsel in the preparation of Angolan law opinions for financing transactions.
Coverage may include corporate capacity and authority, validity of the obligations, creation and perfection of Angolan security, applicable publicity requirements, priority, enforcement mechanics, lender representation and insolvency qualifications.
Where steps remain outstanding before security is fully effective, we identify those perfection steps and the supporting documentation.
To begin
We normally need the draft finance and security documents, the transaction structure, the identity of the parties and the relevant corporate documents.
Timing
Initial response and conflict check on the same business day. Scope and fee proposal within two business days of receiving sufficient information about the transaction.
What happens next
We receive the initial information, run the conflict check, confirm the scope of the opinion and send a fee proposal. Once the proposal is accepted and the documentation received, we begin the legal review of the transaction.
