Libya

Since March 2022, we operate in Libya in cooperation with Zahaf & Partners, a primary local law firm. The cooperation will enable us to expand our presence in the area, thereby continuing on a path of strategic development that has seen us open offices in Cairo, Addis Ababa and Dubai, grow our team, and expand our network of law firms to partner with.
