Many of CMS\u2019s clients have multiple in-country operations in Africa and we are committed to ensuring they get the legal services they need to protect and develop their businesses. CGA has a reputation for outstanding service quality and extensive local market knowledge. This knowledge, combined with CMS\u2019s expertise, will help us build a practice with a truly African identity.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>CGA has an established presence in the African business and legal community and is the largest firm in Mozambique. CMS and CGA share strong synergies in the areas of natural resources and renewables, with other areas such as commercial law, dispute resolution and litigation also providing opportunities for cross-border advisory and transaction work for both firms. Furthermore, joining CMS will allow CGA to strengthen its international profile with the support of CMS\u2019s global client base.<\/p>\n<p>Pedro Couto, CGA Chairman, stated, \u201cOur entry into CMS makes us part of an organization of law firms with international coverage.
