Mabvuto Sakala is the managing partner of our Zambia office and a member of the Corporate Investigations Practice.
He specialises in corporate litigation, alternate dispute resolution, employment, and corporate investigation and has acted on some of the country’s most complex and high-profile commercial litigation and arbitration matters.
He is currently acting in two ICC arbitrations for a mining company involving a mining service contract and a copper refinery construction contract.
Mabvuto’s experience extends to banking, mining, energy, and financial services. He continues to act for leading commercial banks on class action claims involving pensions and employment benefits.
Recently, he has been breaking frontiers in the corporate investigations space, particularly as jurisdictions continue to adopt laws to ease doing business and align with global regulatory best practices, leading to increased oversight by regulators as well as a renewed focus on ethical behaviour, environmental, social, and governance (ESG), data protection and privacy, and protecting, among other things, and as most of his clients adapt and increasingly focus on potential breaches or non-compliance with their policies, procedures, processes, frameworks, code of conduct, or other internal directives that govern them.
