About this network
Comprising an array of independent law firms across the continent, as well as DLA Piper's own offices in Johannesburg and Casablanca, DLA Piper Africa offers clients international legal service standards combined with invaluable on-the-ground business and legal understanding. The network offers francophone and lusophone presence, in addition to its extensive coverage of the Maghreb region and of Eastern and Southern Africa, all of which is supported by the firm's global network of offices. Through tried and tested cross-office collaboration, the network has positioned itself as a single point of contact providing a joined-up legal service for multi-jurisdictional mandates. The network's commitment to integration and continued development is demonstrated through its hosting of academies and its well-established secondment programme, both between African offices and internationally. James Kamau is the chair of DLA Piper Africa and managing partner of Iseme, Kamau & Maema Advocates in Kenya.
