Legal services in Mauritius

As an expat having moved to Mauritius from South Africa 2 years ago, I found that having all my needs (occupation permit application, expat help desk and legal requirements from a law firm) with a company offering it all under one roof REALLY made my life a lot easier and the process hassle (and stress!) free.

For those setting up business, you will need the help of a management company, but they won't offer legal advice, for example, on employment laws in Mauritius for your future employees - having a law firm under the same roof is a life saver. 

Aim to find someone who can help you with the actual paperwork of setting up business / permit applications and who offer a law firm and expat assistance (such as sourcing insurance, a house, schooling for your kids, pet relocation etc).   Any questions I am happy to share my experience / contacts!

thanks glad to find someone the relocated from south Africa it just make it easier when we have quarys most people are from other countrys

Thanks Esmarie,

We are relocating from Cape Town so it's nice to know what made it easier for you.  The only thing we are really struggling with (at the moment) is with regard to finding jobs.  Both of us are able to work for ourselves but i'm not certain what the legalities and expectations are (if we are allowed to)  continue working for ourselves.

Hope to meet you in person one day.

Warmest regards

Good Day .

I currently reside in South Africa and want to relocate to Mauritius .
I am having a tough time finding a recruitment company in Mauritus
in the Insurance sector .
Can you assist with names and phone numbers ?
Much Appreciated .

Hi Kivashni
Unfortunately you will find it quite hard to fins employment from SA... recruitment agenciea are not the preferred method for recruiting (newspaper, word of mouth and some websites like jobs.mu are used often).
It works best to come here and see potential employers directly. You should make contact directly with insurers brokers etc.

Hi Esmari,

Can you please suggest a Law Firm in Mauritius that can assist us with property investments, permits, approvals for property investments, moving to Mauritius, buying a hotel or resort, establishing a new investment company and moving funds from South Africa to Mauritius to be used to buy the hotel or resort and other related guidance and assistance?

Alternatively, who did you use to assist with your needs?

Much appreciated!

George
