Cabo Verde

SSA Advogados is the exclusive member of VdA Legal Partners in Cape Verde. Led by Sumila Santos, this dynamic team has a deep knowledge of the local market.

As part of the VdA Legal Partners network, which gathers more than 330 lawyers with international experience, SSA Advogados aims to establish itself as a leading player in the Cape Verdean legal market, particularly in the Financial, Energy, Infrastructures, Telecommunications and Tourism sectors.

"Broad political stability will prevail in 2022-23, underpinned by strong democratic institutions and strong protection of human rights and civic freedoms. Growth will slowly accelerate in 2022-23 as tourism, investment and remittances inflows from Europe increase while the coronavirus outbreak recedes, helped by an efficient vaccination rollout across the country's population. However, measures to improve the business environment will be delayed, and will be successful only in the medium term."
