About Us

    Founded in 2014, Z & P quickly distinguished itself through its competence to become a reference law firm in Cameroon. Since then, the firm has been constantly reinventing itself, growing and developing more skills to satisfy its clients. Always attentive to the needs of its clients, it accompanies them in their corporate development. Z&P was created in July 2014 by Serges Martin ZANGUE. After his call to the Cameroonian Bar Association in 2001, he developed his skills in legal advisory and litigation services through various trainings in different law firms in Cameroon, with nine years of hard work and determination as a senior associate at Marie -Andrée NGWE Law firm. Z&P, started off with 7 legal staff and two non-legal staff. Today, the team has grown tremendously counting a total number of 19 staff members amongst 12 legal staff and 6 non legal staff. This growth is as a result of the growing need for competent lawyers in the dynamic and developing market both locally and internationally. Throughout Cameroon, Z&P has built networks of first-rate correspondents to assist its clients with quality services. To meet all expectations and all aspects of concern, whatever may be the difficulty they encounter, Z&P is diligent to offer its clients productive output in terms of advisory and litigation services.
