ALN welcomes three new Francophone members
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
NAIROBI, Kenya, May 05, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --ALN has announced the admission
of three new members as part of their strategy to expand into francophone
Africa. The new members are based in Algeria, Guinea and Morocco and joined as
of 1 May 2017. ALN now has coverage in 16 countries making it the largest legal
alliance of its kind in Africa.
According to ALN's Chairman, Dr. Cheick Modibo Diarra, "ALN's expansion strategy
has been planned carefully for some time now as we sought out the right firms
that met our requirements in terms of independence, capacity, integrity,
expertise and cultural fit."
He further said that, "It is clear that the Francophone market is looking for
lawyers that are dynamic, mobile, and tech savvy who can bring international
experience alongside their local on the ground connections. This is what ALN is
all about."
The new member firms are led by Safia Fassi-Fihri for BFR & Associés in Morocco,
Foued Bourabiat for Bourabiat Associés in Algeria and Salimatou Diallo for SD
Avocats in Guinea. These three firms have been working closely with each other
and sought to join ALN as part of a common strategy focussed on the sustainable
growth of their respective practices in francophone Africa.
ALN now has integrated Anglophone, Lusophone and Francophone capabilities,
setting it apart from other African networks which work on a pure regional or
referral basis.
Karim Anjarwalla, Managing Partner of Anjarwalla & Khanna, one of the founders
of ALN, commented on the new members that "ALN has been in a 'consolidation'
phase for some time now as we have been recruiting a team of professional
business services resources to properly support ALN member firms. Now that we
have the appropriate infrastructure and personnel in place we are able to drive
our expansion plans and introduce a whole new market to ALN clients."
Anjarwalla further says, "ALN's continued success in advising on cross border
matters comes from our one firm approach of collaborating in virtual teams
across multiple offices." ALN will be able to capitalise on the increase in
trade and investment between francophone Africa and anglophone Africa by
offering on-the-ground legal resources to clients. ALN members also share
resources and exchange business insights, market intelligence and best
practices, placing them in an ideal position to advise any client looking to
bridge between Francophone and Anglophone Africa.
