Bennani & Associés is the first independent legal consulting firm in business law in North Africa, West Africa and Central Africa
About us
2004
Founded in 2004 by Mehdi Bennani (Attorney-at-law at the New York Bar) and Abdellah Moustaid (Attorney-at-law at the Casablanca Bar), the firm opened its first office in Morocco to advise clients on setting up and expanding in French-speaking Africa. Ten years later, Bennani & Associés opened an office in Algiers to continue assisting its customers in Algeria in 2014.
2015 > 2018
This regional expansion was subsequently confirmed with the opening in 2015 of an office in Tunis and another in Abidjan in 2018.
2018 > 2022
Bennani & Associés continues to realize its ambitions to become the firm of choice for international clients seeking opportunities in French-speaking Africa by opening a fifth office in the Democratic Republic of Congo in 2022.
2024 to today
Renowned for its high-quality services and tailor-made advice to the standards of the leading international firms, Bennani & Associés now has seven offices in the most important areas and sectors in North Africa, West Africa and Central Africa, with the opening of offices in Cameroon and Rwanda in 2024.
