Okavango Diamond Company Opens Call for Botswana Law Firms to Join Legal Services Panel. The Okavango Diamond Company (ODC) has issued an open invitation to established and reputable law firms across Botswana to express their interest in joining the company’s panel of legal service providers.

The call, published this week, is part of ODC’s structured process to identify and engage qualified local firms capable of supporting its expanding operational and commercial activities within the country’s diamond industry. The selected firms will form part of ODC’s Legal Panel, which provides legal expertise and advisory services across a range of corporate, regulatory, and contractual matters.

According to the announcement, interested firms must demonstrate a strong track record of legal practice in Botswana, backed by relevant industry experience and compliance with professional and statutory requirements. The expression of interest (EOI) process is designed to ensure transparency and competitiveness in the selection of partners who meet ODC’s standards of excellence and integrity.

ODC, a wholly owned Government of Botswana entity, plays a central role in the marketing and sale of the country’s rough diamonds, supporting Botswana’s efforts to maximise value addition within the diamond sector. The company routinely engages a range of professional service providers to strengthen its governance and operational capacity in line with international best practices.

Law firms seeking to participate can access full details and submission requirements through the official ODC website at www.odc.co.bw/tenders or via the direct link https://bit.ly/4cJjjaI.

The invitation underscores ODC’s commitment to fostering partnerships with local professionals and ensuring that Botswana’s legal fraternity continues to play an active role in the country’s evolving minerals sector.
