Highlights  

ENSafrica Mauritius is currently assisting Sanlam Allianz in the proposed amalgamation of Jubilee Allianz General Insurance Company Mauritius Limited (JAGI) and Sanlam General Insurance Limited (SGI) in Mauritius. The team, led by Anne-Sophie Lenette, advised on the legal and regulatory structuring of the amalgamation, preparing the necessary documentation, assisting with the application to the FSC for approval and, support in the implementation. This included working closely with the client to meet regulatory requirements, including meetings with the regulatory, drafting and reviewing transaction documents, and putting together the amalgamation proposal. The transaction is ongoing. 

The firm also served as local counsel for Marubeni Global Pharma in its strategic acquisition of a 30% shareholding in Phillips Healthcare Corporation. The team, led by Anne-Sophie Lenette, conducted due diligence, advised on Mauritian law compliance, reviewed the shareholders’ agreement, and drafted the company’s constitution. The transaction is currently ongoing.  

The firm welcomed Davina Boodnah and Sandya Booluck to the team in September 2024 and Alyssa De Luca Lahmidi in December 2024. Martine de Fleuriot de la Colinière retired from the firm in February 2025.

Testimonials 2024/2025  

“We appreciate the way they dealt with people, their expert advice, their commitment. (Private Equity) 

I really appreciated working with ENS Mauritius. The team was swift and responsive, even during the December holiday period when timelines were tight. Their due diligence proposal was comprehensive and economical, and they consistently went the extra mile when required. (Project Finance) 

What stood out most about ENS Mauritius was their ability to take ownership and take the lead, especially in areas where the borrower’s counsel fell short. This proactive approach gave us confidence that key issues were being properly managed and kept the transaction moving forward. (Project Finance) 

Anne Sophie Lenette is serious, proactive and an expert in her way of tackling matters. (Private Equity) 

Chavi Gonpot is very responsive and swift.” (Project Finance)
