What the Team is Known For

This high-profile multinational law firm has a well-established presence in South Africa. It has a particularly developed client following among the jurisdiction's financial institutions, with a swathe of domestic and international clients derived from the private equity, construction and mining sectors, among others. The disputes group is well positioned to assist with cases stemming from insolvency and business rescue proceedings, as well as instances of corporate fraud and professional negligence, with further experience in corporate and commercial mandates. The firm has deep expertise across its network of offices, in addition to its capabilities in South Africa. Allen & Overy's 2024 merger with US law firm Shearman & Sterling will further add to the team's cross-border capabilities.
