Our History
Latelo & Associates is a premier law firm headquartered in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), registered and fully licensed to practice across the country. We are widely recognized for our deep and practical expertise in Mining and Environmental Law, serving clients in both the public and private sectors. Our core mission is to provide strategic legal counsel and operational support that empowers mining investors, operators, and developers to navigate the legal terrain of the DRC with clarity and confidence.
We distinguish ourselves through our ability to integrate legal precision with sector-specific insight—supporting mining operations at every stage, from initial investment and permitting to compliance, stakeholder engagement, and mine closure. Our team combines legal depth with local know-how, regulatory access, and on-the-ground presence to ensure our clients achieve regulatory security, community alignment, and business success.
