About the firm
Practical legal advice, delivered by the lawyer who owns your matter
Fixus Law is a Tanzanian law firm based on Asmara Street in Dar es Salaam. We advise businesses, investors and individuals on the legal questions that shape their plans.
A firm built around clarity and accountability
Clients come to a law firm with a decision to make: whether to sign, to buy, to invest, to hire, to build, or to challenge something that has gone wrong. Our role is to make that decision safer and better informed.
We work on corporate and commercial matters, land and property, mining, oil and gas, immigration, public-private partnerships and infrastructure, agriculture, and investment. Much of our work sits where those areas meet: a property bought by a project company, a mine licensed to a joint venture, a foreign employee hired by a new subsidiary.
We do not overstate what we can achieve, and we do not hide risk to win an instruction. If a matter is better handled elsewhere, we will say so.
Our work is conducted from our offices at 8140 Asmara Street, Dar es Salaam.
Four principles that shape every matter
These are the working habits the firm holds itself to, whatever the size of the instruction.
01
Listen first
We start by understanding the commercial or personal outcome you need, not by reciting the law at you.
02
Assess honestly
We tell you where the real risk sits, what the process involves and what it will cost before work begins.
03
Advise plainly
Advice is written so that a decision-maker can act on it, with the options and their consequences set out clearly.
04
Stay accountable
One responsible lawyer owns your matter from first enquiry through to completion, and keeps you informed.
The matters we are instructed on
Each practice area page sets out the work involved and the questions clients usually raise. They are a useful starting point if you are unsure where your matter belongs.
Clients and matters we are suited to
The firm is structured to give a senior lawyer's attention to each file.
Businesses
Companies setting up, contracting, employing, leasing, expanding or restructuring in Tanzania.
Investors and sponsors
Local and foreign investors and project sponsors who need approvals, structures and documentation that will hold.
Individuals
People who need advice on property, immigration, employment or a dispute affecting their own interests.
How the firm is organised
Fixus Law is a small, senior team. Each matter is handled by the lawyer accountable for it, with administration and accounts supporting the file.
Managing Partner and Head Lawyer
Leads the firm's practice, supervises client matters and is accountable for the quality of advice given.
Partners and Advocates
Advise and represent clients on transactions, regulatory work and disputes across the firm's practice areas.
Lawyers
Carry out research, drafting, due diligence and day-to-day management of client files.
Administration
Handles client onboarding, file management, scheduling and correspondence.
Accounts
Manages billing, receipts and the firm's financial records.
Fixus Law works as a small, senior team so that each client's matter is handled by the person responsible for it. Individual profiles are published only once the firm has confirmed each colleague's name, title and the details intended for public release.
