What are the main challenges for a business law firm located in Northern Africa?

The main challenges are how to act with the judicial system, the local law which is very linked to the Islamic religion & practices and the mixed population in particular foreign investors.

What motivated you to get involved in business law?

I like this job because it is very sensitive, when you close a deal or a file you feel very useful and helpful for the client.

What do you think is your greatest accomplishment in your career so far?

It was my modest contribution to transfer some public companies, to modernise some business laws and to make access to the business law and companies set up very easy, and to deal with some VIP.

Our plan is to have a large area of expertise and hopefully to have some office representation in other countries in Africa and Europe.
