Africa Legal 101
From the desk of Global Esquire Law Firm
Your complete legal roadmap for relocation, business, and investment across Africa
At Global Esquire Law Firm, we work with clients every day who are ready to connect with Africa — whether that means moving, opening a business, investing in property, or building a life between continents.
And we’ve seen the same pattern: people come to us after they’ve lost money, missed legal steps, or gotten stuck because they relied on social media advice instead of qualified legal counsel.
Africa Legal 101 is our solution to that problem.
Written by our founder, Tareian Alexis King, Esq., an American international attorney who has lived and practiced law across Africa for more than a decade, this guide distills the same legal frameworks and strategies our paying clients receive in consultation — into one powerful resource you can access instantly.
Why This Guide Makes Sense Before You Book a Consultation
Our firm’s one-hour consultation fee is $350.
To cover everything in this book in one-on-one consultations would take over 10 hours — that’s more than $3,500 in legal fees.
By getting Africa Legal 101, you’ll have the full legal foundation first — at a fraction of the cost — and can then book a consultation with us to focus on your specific case instead of starting from scratch.
It’s the same knowledge base we use to advise clients across the U.S., Africa, and Europe — just in ebook form.
