Cross-border work in Africa often stalls on a simple problem: who can you instruct in market B when your firm only practises in market A? Yamalé lists verified firms by jurisdiction, practice area, and working language so clients and referring counsel can instruct directly.
Use the directory to shortlist counsel, then keep coordination on shared research and Vault kits when the matter spans multiple markets. Listing for firms is free; verification is what makes the network usable.
