UPDATE/CORRECTION: 1/27/14, 11:00 a.m. EST. DLA Piper has officially announced its opening in Algeria by adding several lawyers from French firm Lefevre Pelletier’s local affiliate in Algiers. The seventh paragraph of this story mistakenly included the name of one Lefevre Pelletier partner who has not joined DLA. We regret the error.
As noted in The American Lawyer’s latest Focus Europe supplement, Am Law 100 firms are opening offices and forging alliances across Africa in a race to capitalize on deal work tied to the abundance of natural resources on the booming continent.
