As restrições ao exercício da advocacia por estrangeiros em Moçambique continuam, mas com a entrada em vigor de um novo quadro legal para o sector, a existência de uma parceria com um escritório local facilita a prática profissional.

De acordo com o sócio internacional da PLMJ e bastonário da Ordem dos Advogados de Moçambique, Tomás Timbane, "A Lei das Sociedades de Advogados (LSA) estabelece agora os termos e condições em que as sociedades de advogados moçambicanas podem estabelecer parcerias com sociedades de advogados estrangeiras", e ele também acrescenta, "As restrições para o exercício da advocacia por estrangeiros continuam, ainda que, no âmbito das referidas parcerias, exista agora uma abertura que antes não existia. Além dos advogados inscritos na Ordem, os advogados estrangeiros podem realizar algumas actividades jurídicas, mas, apenas no âmbito dessas parcerias".
