Dentons, the world’s largest global law firm, will launch offerings with leading local firms in Cameroon, DRC, Ethiopia and Senegal. The expansion in capabilities and expertise in these key countries will connect the Firm’s clients to legal talent in more locations in Africa than any other global law firm. Enhancing the Firm’s presence in these countries further strengthens the Firm’s ability to provide comprehensive legal services in civil law jurisdictions, allowing the Firm to better support clients with leading legal expertise and a deep understanding of these strategically important markets.
Dentons is expanding its Africa presence through teaming with Kouengoua Minou Nkongho (KMN) in Cameroon, Pathy Liongo & Associates in the Democratic Republic of Congo, Tamrat Assefa Liban Law Office in Ethiopia and LEGALIX in Senegal. These firms have deep-rooted local market expertise, coupled with experience across the energy, mining, banking and finance sectors and with advising clients on corporate transactions.
“Building a presence in Cameroon, DRC, Ethiopia and Senegal accelerates Dentons’ momentum in building the leading Pan-African law firm, owned and controlled by Africans,” said Noor Kapdi, Africa Region CEO. “As the first global law firm located in the cities of Douala, Kinshasa, Addis Ababa and Dakar, Dentons is well-positioned to serve our clients as they begin to unlock opportunities in Africa from around the world.”
“We are delighted to be adding expertise in Cameroon, DRC, Ethiopia and Senegal. The energy of emerging markets across Africa is palpable,” said Elliott Portnoy, Dentons Global CEO and Kate Barton, Dentons’ Global CEO-elect. “These four prestigious firms will strengthen our local legal counsel and deepen our ability to meet the needs of our clients – across Africa and the 80+ countries where Dentons has a presence.”
