MAAW is a boutique firm with focused expertise providing advice to individuals, companies, trade associations, governments and international organizations in the “magic circle” of international competition, foreign investment, and international trade.
A pharmaceutical company who wants to sell its medicines in Africa or a mining firm venturing off to explore for minerals off the beaten track does not see itself as having a problem that falls into one of these practice areas. It sees a problem that needs to be resolved. Resolving that problem means identifying correctly the source of the problem and finding the right solution point within the magic circle to expeditiously resolve the problem. Sometimes that will involve negotiating with governments and other stakeholders and other times it will involve compliance training for employees and or developing corporate social responsibility (CSR) strategies.
MAAW also provides advice and technical assistance to governments and international organizations on legislative reform, market studies, capacity-building and training within the magic circle of international competition, foreign investment, and international trade.
