We opened an office in Algiers in 2003, becoming the first international law firm in Algeria. Made up of Algerian and international legal practitioners, our team combines extensive knowledge of Algerian law and business with international expertise.
We advise leading Algerian and international clients, including international institutions, public companies, banks, insurance companies, investment funds and industrial groups. We advise them on the legal and tax implications of their investments and transactions in Algeria.
We are particularly active in the energy sector, including hydrocarbons and renewable energy.
In addition to advisory services, we also have expertise in dispute resolution. We assist major international and Algerian groups with ad hoc and institutional arbitration proceedings (ICC, ICSID) regarding contractual disputes (joint ventures, infrastructure, hydrocarbons, etc.). We also assist with conciliation and mediation.
Working with our Africa Group and our other international offices, we support our Algerian and international clients’ development in Africa.

Samy is very practical in his advice, he thinks outside the box and can understand complex law. Thanks to his vast experience he can make accurate predictions and has good judgement.
Samy Laghouati is a gentleman who has a professional business approach and a very developed sense of interpersonal skills.

Julien Gontier is based in the firm's Algiers office and is noted for his work in domestic and cross-border disputes. His practice also sees him advising clients on infrastructure projects.
He is an excellent lawyer, detail-oriented, with good listening skills and an analytical mind.
I appreciate Julien's availability, he is very good with tight deadlines. It is very reassuring to know he works hard and is on it. He is agile, available and solution-oriented.

Paris-based partner Xavier Lecomte enters the rankings this year. He is recognised for his capabilities advising clients on corporate and commercial matters, including advising international companies looking to enter the Algerian market.
