The use of a local attorney for consultation and guidance, especially in the case of business disputes, is strongly recommended. The judicial system in Guinea is underdeveloped, underfunded, and there are frequent reports of rampant corruption. The U.S. Embassy’s Consular Section maintains a list of local attorneys, though the list should not be interpreted as an endorsement of any of the attorneys listed. A list of local attorneys is also available from the Ministry of Justice.

There is no existing agency through which U.S. businesses can verify the credit background of counterparts in Guinea before doing business. The U.S. Embassy suggests requesting a letter of credit before commencing business transactions.
