DLA Piper has expanded in southern Africa through a local alliance in oil and mining-rich Angola.

The Am Law 100 firm already has relationships with 14 other firms across Africa, a newly opened outpost of its own in Casablanca, Morocco, and a planned office in Johannesburg, South Africa. Now it has added Angolan firm ADCA to its network, deepening its commitment to Africa and the continent’s growing—if often troubled—economies.
