Independent. Opinionated. Accountable.
Lex Zambia exists because Zambia’s commercial legal environment is too important to be explained only by the people with a stake in it. We work from primary documents, verify what matters, give those we report on the right to respond, and keep news apart from opinion. No law firm, alliance, company or state institution owns or directs us. We take positions; we do not take instructions.
Our commitments: timely reporting · commercial relevance · clear attribution · fair treatment · open corrections

The questions people ask before they trust us (FAQs)
Can a law firm or advertiser buy better coverage?
No. Advertising, sponsorship and enhanced directory listings are sold separately from editorial and always labelled. A paid relationship does not earn a story, soften one or kill one. If that ever changed, we would have nothing left to sell.
You publish opinions. How do I know the news is straight?
News and opinion are kept apart and labelled. News reports what the documents show and gives everyone named the right to reply. Analysis argues a case and says it is doing so. You always know which one you are reading.
I'm a foreign investor or international counsel. Will this make sense to me?
It is written for you as much as for Lusaka. We name institutions in full, explain local context briefly, and read Zambian developments against COMESA, SADC and the AfCFTA. You do not need a Zambian practising certificate to follow it.
What do I get as a member that I don't get free?
News, Firm Moves and the Firms directory stay free. Lex Zambia Premium unlocks every Insights & Analysis piece, full deal detail in The Transaction, our analysis of the rankings, and the full archive. Read free first; join when you need the depth.
How do I get a deal, appointment or article considered?
Use the submission forms. The newsroom verifies everything before it runs, and submitting does not guarantee coverage. Deal and appointment notices are free to submit.
