TOGO
Togo is pursuing a trajectory of progressive modernization, driven by structural reforms, efforts to improve the business climate, and a strategic location on the Gulf of Guinea. With one of the region’s most efficient deep-water ports, the country is increasingly influential in logistics and trade across West Africa.
While structural challenges remain, Togo’s economy shows encouraging diversification in energy, services, digital technologies, and agro-industry. For investors, Togo represents an open, reform-oriented market with attractive opportunities across several key sectors.
From its offices in Abidjan, Mauritius, and New York, CLKA supports private and institutional actors seeking to secure, develop, or restructure their activities in Togo, offering integrated and performance-oriented legal expertise.
