Africa Legal Alliance
Overview
We recognise that clients require quality advice, wherever they operate. We believe this can best be achieved through close relationships with leading independent firms.
Alliances and relationships
As part of the Deneys Reitz Group, we have excellent relationships with most of the major international law firms.
Across Africa, Africa Legal´s local resources are supplemented by the Africa Legal Alliance - an extensive network of relationships with a number of the continent´s leading firms in Angola, Democratic Republic of Congo, Ghana, Kenya, Mozambique, Namibia, Nigeria, Tanzania, Uganda and Zimbabwe.
Key features of the Africa Legal Alliance include:
- Leading lawyers – all of the lawyers in the Alliance are leading practitioners in their local profession.
- Sharing know-how, expertise and market information.
- Clear lines of responsibility - to ensure efficient project management.
- Regular contact between Africa Legal and the Alliance firms.
- Agreed billing structures.
- Non-exclusivity - to avoid possible conflicts of interest particularly in small legal markets, or because different firms may have different areas of expertise, or to accommodate a client´s own choice of local counsel.
