How to Instruct an Africa Expert Witness

How AfricaExpertWitness matches specialists to your case.

When you instruct, specify the African country (and region or city if relevant) so the expert addresses that jurisdiction's conditions. Our service covers asylum, immigration, and arbitration matters across the continent, matched neutrally to your case rather than a default region.

1

Identify Country and Key Issues

Which African country or region? Asylum or arbitration? LGBTQI+, FGM, trafficking, political persecution, or investment dispute?

2

Regional and Language Expertise

French-speaking West Africa, East Africa (English), Horn of Africa (Amharic, Somali), North Africa (Arabic), Southern Africa (English/Portuguese)?

3

Country Guidance Awareness

Which country guidance cases apply? MOJ Somalia, MA Eritrea, RN Zimbabwe? Is the case a departure from guidance?
