Who We Are

Trusted legal counsel.
Practical business solutions.

CC Gabriel & Co Legal Practitioners is a full-service business law firm based in Lusaka, Zambia. Founded in 2018, we provide commercially focused, relationship-driven legal support tailored to client needs. Our team combines legal expertise with industry knowledge to help clients navigate an increasingly dynamic legal and regulatory environment.

Our Story

Built on the Belief That
Legal Advice Should Be Clear

CC Gabriel & Co was founded with a simple conviction: Zambian businesses deserve legal advice that is practical, commercially relevant, and delivered without unnecessary complexity. Too often, businesses — particularly startups, SMEs, and growing enterprises — encounter legal services that are opaque, reactive, and disconnected from operational realities.

We set out to change that. Our practice is built around understanding our clients' businesses first — their markets, their risks, their ambitions — and then providing legal solutions that actually support their goals. Whether it's navigating ZRA audits, structuring a new investment round, resolving a property dispute in Lusaka, or ensuring compliance with the latest data protection regulations, we bring the same standard of clarity and commercial awareness to every engagement.

Today we serve a diverse portfolio of clients — from early-stage startups and professional service firms to established enterprises and multinational subsidiaries — across Zambia's most dynamic sectors including fintech, real estate, oil and gas, FMCG, and professional services.

Our Mission

Empowering African Enterprises to build intergenerational wealth through relationship-driven legal support. We believe every player in the entrepreneurial ecosystem deserves client-centric legal services that enable them to focus on their core purpose.

Our Vision
