DUE DILIGENCE
Legal Statutory Due Diligence for Foreigners Investing in Zimbabwe
In order for a foreign investor investing in Zimbabwe to mitigate their risk, it is important that they understand the legal statutory framework. For instance the law in Zimbabwe governing business entities traces its origins to Roman – Dutch Law, borrowing from the English law where necessary. As a result, much of the commercial and corporate law, and insolvency law in Zimbabwe is based on English mercantile law.
The importance of a statutory due diligence report is that it assists a potential investor to not overlook certain issues. In general, a legal statutory due diligence report would focus on issues such as:
- (a) Consumer Law
- (b) Contract Law;
- (c) Company Law;
- (d) Currency Exchange Control;
- (e) Banking and Finance;
- (f) Dispute Resolution;
- (g) Environmental and Social Issues;
- (h) Health and Safety;
- (i) Labour and Employment Law;
- (j) Insurance;
- (k) Insolvency;
- (l) Property Rights;
- (m) Procurement;
- (n) Taxation;
- (o) Sovereign Immunity.
