Like any other country, the Democratic Republic of Congo has a complex legal system. This system comprises laws, regulations, and administrative or judicial procedures applicable to all individuals or entities conducting economic, philanthropic, or other activities within its territory. However, these rules and procedures can be difficult for non-lawyers to understand and navigate. Moreover, they are subject to constant changes, which are not always effectively communicated, leading to frequent non-compliance by those they apply to.

Non-compliance, however, comes with significant consequences. These may include administrative or even criminal sanctions, as well as prolonged disputes before authorities or courts. Inevitably, such conflicts result in financial losses, wasted time, and potential reputational damage, both in the market and with domestic institutions.

For these reasons, support from experienced legal professionals is indispensable.
