Clients seeking access to Africa need trusted legal advisors to deliver highly sophisticated, on the ground support. Advisors with Africa in their DNA, international exposure, and a certainty to guide clients to success. ADNA is striving to create a more structured African legal market, to serve clients with cutting-edge advice at a fair price. Certain remaining regulatory barriers in some African countries will be unable to resist the overwhelming business opportunities that are lying in wait.

ADNA is comprised of modern legal entrepreneurs that have created a strong independent and integrated law firm for Africa, spanning from North to West Africa, with a Pan African vision and wide international expertise. 

Incorporating over 30 years’ experience on the African continent, ADNA is eager to disrupt the status quo of the typical law firm to best serve its clients by being as ambitious as those it works with. Helping to navigate businesses and provide bespoke legal solutions. 

Boasting offices in Algeria, Côte d'Ivoire, Guinea and Morocco, ADNA is also a member of the award-winning Africa Legal Network (ALN), which provides a bridge between Anglophone and Francophone Africa. ADNA is the result of the merger of four existing and successful law firms: BFR & Associés, Bourabiat Associés, EMIRE Partners and SD Avocats. 

The firm is founded on the notion of legacy. The legacy to become an institutional law firm and to help grow and promote the next generation of African lawyers.
