A key area of our expertise is fund structuring and regulatory advisory work. We are involved in the formation and structuring of numerous Mauritius-based private equity funds and holding companies. As part of this, we frequently provide legal opinions to leading development finance institutions, including CDC, IFC, DEG, and FMO.

On instructions from international law firms, we have advised several promoters and fund managers on establishing their investment vehicles in Mauritius. These vehicles facilitate cross-border investments across India and Africa in key growth sectors such as clean energy, financial services, leisure and hospitality, infrastructure, private education, and healthcare.

Beyond transactional and advisory work, MGC has an exceptionally strong litigation practice. As a predominantly commercial set, we specialise in commercial litigation, corporate disputes, and insolvency matters. Our barristers are frequently engaged in shareholder disputes, enforcement of security, winding-up and insolvency proceedings, and court-sanctioned schemes of arrangement.
