ENSafrica consolidates position in Mauritius

Late last year, when De Comarmond & Koenig entered into a joint venture with ENSafrica, it made shock waves in the Mauritius legal market. De Comarmond & Koenig is the oldest and largest firm of attorneys in Mauritius.

At the time there were suggestions in various quarters that this development could herald the start of a major shift in a historically stable legal market, with other Mauritian lawyers following suit. However, what was not foreseen was that there would be such a major move in such short time frame.

In an unprecedented move Maxime Sauzier SC, Varuna Bunwaree and Carolyn Desvaux de Marigny (barristers) as well as Jaykar Gujadhur and Yashina Leckram (attorneys) have announced that they will be joining ENSafrica as of 1 June 2014. They are to unite forces with ENSafrica (Mauritius), previously known as De Comarmond & Koenig, an established, award winning and highly regarded Mauritian law firm.

Unparalleled force

"We are very pleased that Maxime, Jaykar, Varuna, Carolyn and Yashina have decided to join ENSafrica Mauritius. This is a major development that will undoubtedly strengthen our law practice and create an unparalleled force in the Mauritius legal market," Thierry Koenig SA, head of ENSafrica Mauritius, commented.

The current Mauritius team of ENSafrica Mauritius comprises of Thierry Koenig SA, Martine de Fleuriot de la Colinière, Raj Ragobur, Vanesha Babooa, Mahejabeen Chatoo, Sindhia Potayya, Rachel Wan, and Stephanie Sundanum, as well as Camille Desvaux de Marigny (Fiduciary), Xavier Koenig (Insolvency) and Pravin Barthia (Intellectual Property).

"We are delighted that such high profile and leading litigators and employment law practitioners are joining the current Mauritian team. ENSafrica (Mauritius) is already a success, and has very promising future development potential. Mauritius is definitely part of the footprint that ENSafrica is establishing throughout Africa," Piet Faber, chief executive of ENSafrica, stated.
