Andersen Global has entered into a collaboration agreement with a law firm in the Republic of Guinea, giving it a presence in its 27th African nation.

The agreement with Nimba Conseil brings on board more than 10 tax and legal professionals, with the firm advising on administrative and financial outsourcing matters, legal and tax due diligence and tax control and assessment.

Speaking to Law.com International, Andersen chairman Mark Vorsatz said that the median age in Africa is a key factor in the choice to expand there, as there are 30 countries in the world where the median age is under 20, with 29 of them in Africa.
