- Banking & FinanceBanks, non-bank lenders and their customers operate under the Banking and Financial Services Act and the supervision of the Bank of Zambia. The legal work spans lending and security documentation, the perfection and registration of charges and mortgages, regulatory compliance, and the recovery of debt when facilities fall into default. Security over land, shares, receivables and movable assets each carries its own registration requirements, and getting them right at the outset determines whether a lender can realise its security later.Banking & FinanceInsolvency & Debt RecoveryConveyancing

Work in the sector commonly involves licensing and tenure, joint ventures and farm-in arrangements, supply and offtake contracts, royalties and tax, environmental and community obligations, employment of both local and expatriate staff, and the resolution of disputes, which are frequently referred to arbitration.Corporate & CommercialLitigationArbitration & ADREmployment & Labour
- EnergyThe energy sector covers generation, transmission, distribution and supply, regulated by the Energy Regulation Board under the Energy Regulation Act. Legal work includes licensing, power purchase agreements, concession and connection arrangements, project and structured financing, procurement, and the long-term contracts that underpin generation projects. Renewable projects add their own questions of land tenure, grid connection and tariff structure.ConstructionCorporate & CommercialArbitration & ADR
- Construction & InfrastructureConstruction and infrastructure projects turn on the contract. Standard forms such as the FIDIC suite allocate risk between employer, contractor and engineer, and set out the procedures for variations, extensions of time, payment and certification. The work covers procurement, contract drafting and negotiation, performance security and bonds, and the resolution of claims, which these contracts usually channel through an engineer's decision, adjudication or arbitration rather than the courts.ConstructionArbitration & ADRLitigation
- AgricultureAgriculture raises questions of land above all: title to farming land, leasehold tenure, conversion of customary land, and security over agricultural property. Beyond land, the sector involves supply, input and offtake agreements, agricultural financing and the security that supports it, water rights, labour on farms and estates, and compliance with the regulators governing seed, fertiliser and produce marketing.ConveyancingCorporate & CommercialEmployment & Labour
