Biography: Hon. Nimrod E Mkono is the founder and Managing Partner of Mkono & Co, which he has headed since 1977. The name Mkono remains the mark of competence and efficiency in Tanzania and has become a force to reckon with both nationally and internationally. Hon. Mkono is an advocate of the High Court of Tanzania and Zanzibar, with over 36 years of specialising in company law, corporate finance, privatisation and corporate taxation. He has featured in over 30 publications covering taxation, intellectual property, mergers and acquisitions, capital markets, dispute resolution, corporate recovery and insolvency in Tanzania.
Hon. Mkono has handled numerous consortium arrangements and has advised the Government of Tanzania on a number of high profile matters, including the unbundling and eventual privatisation of the National Bank of Commerce (NBC) and the Tanzania Telecommunications Company (TTCL). He has advised Citi Bank Tanzania, Barclays Bank and Standard Chartered, among others and has been keenly involved in acting for both the Government of Tanzania and major corporations in international commercial litigation and arbitration. Hon. Mkono has also been instrumental in the drafting of different Tanzanian laws and regulations and is an honorary legal advisor to the British High Commission, Italian, Swedish and the Netherlands embassies in Tanzania.
Hon. Mkono’s regulatory and transactional work and experience go, without a doubt, hand in hand with his long outstanding legal career and longstanding commitment to corporate social responsibility. Indeed, Hon. Mkono has assisted in the construction of seven primary and secondary schools, windmills, teachers’ houses and roads. He is a tireless champion for promoting development and education in the Musoma Rural Constituency.
Recent transactional highlights: • Successfully defended theDar es Salaam Water and Sewerage Authority against a $20 million claim by Biwater Gauff Tanzania resulting from the collapse of a controversial water privatisation contract, which entailed ISCID arbitration and litigation in the High Court of Tanzania to restrain the prosecution of a winding-up proceeding.
• Advised, in association with Hunton & Williams, the Government of Tanzania on the development and financing of the Songo Songo gas fields and the development of a pipeline and gas fired generating facility, as well as advising in relation to related regulatory work.
