Thiam & Associés

Thiam & Associés is a law firm established in 2016 and headquartered in Conakry, Republic of Guinea.

Under the leadership of Baba Hady Thiam, founder, our team of 30 professionals has developed a strong reputation for advising on large-scale, innovative and often first-of-their-kind transactions, particularly in sectors that are central to economic development in Guinea and across Francophone Africa. The firm is widely recognised for its involvement in landmark mining and infrastructure projects, complex energy generation and power purchase agreements, and high-stakes banking, corporate and sovereign finance transactions, including mergers, acquisitions, refinancings and structured financings involving both public and private actors.

In 2025, the firm continued to play a central role in a series of transformative and precedent-setting projects, advising on complex matters spanning banking and sovereign finance, mining, energy, infrastructure, corporate/M&A and regulatory advisory. Thiam & Associés remained a trusted adviser to long-standing institutional and corporate clients such as Vista Bank Group, Afreximbank, Baosteel / Baowu, Winning Consortium Simandou, Compagnie du Transguinéen (CTG) and Chalco, while further strengthening its position as counsel of choice on major infrastructure and energy projects for clients including Karpowership, Amaria Hydraulic & Electrical Development Corporation (AHEDC), Clean Power Generation, and Sinosure / China Geo-Engineering Corporation.

In May 2025, Thiam & Associés reached a significant milestone with the opening of a legal counsel office in Abidjan, Côte d’Ivoire, strengthening its presence in one of West Africa’s most strategic and fast-growing business hubs.
