Dentons Expands into Ethiopia through Partnership with Tamrat Assefa Liban Law Office
The world’s largest global law firm, Dentons, has launched its previously announced offering in Ethiopia through a partnership with Tamrat Assefa Liban Law Office, one of the country’s most distinguished local firms. This expansion strengthens Dentons’ position as a leading Pan-African law firm and enhances its ability to provide clients with comprehensive legal services across the region.
Tamrat Assefa Liban Law Office has been ranked by Chambers for seven consecutive years and brings substantial experience in cross-border investment and finance, particularly in real estate, capital markets, and renewable energy. The firm’s expertise complements Dentons’ global platform, providing clients with deep local knowledge combined with international reach.
Ethiopia is experiencing significant economic growth, driven by major development initiatives in renewable energy, infrastructure, and manufacturing, alongside the recent launch of the Ethiopian Stock Exchange. These developments are creating opportunities across key sectors, making Ethiopia an increasingly attractive destination for domestic and international investors.
Mohamed Zaanouni (Africa Region CEO) commented,
“Formalizing our presence in Addis Ababa is an exciting step and strengthens our position as a leading Pan-African law firm. I look forward to working with our new colleagues to serve clients as they unlock opportunities in this exciting market and beyond.”
Kate Barton (Dentons Global CEO) said,
“Our expansion into Ethiopia marks a powerful step forward in our Africa strategy. Together with our new colleagues, we are uniquely positioned to help clients seize opportunities in one of the continent’s most promising markets. This move reflects our long-term commitment to delivering legal services that are both locally rooted and globally connected.”
