Algerian law


The rapid pace of change in Algeria creates significant opportunities, challenges and complex decisions for economic operators and investors. To benefit from these opportunities it is necessary to follow the fast changes of the Algerian law and in particular of the Algerian business law and the Algerian tax law. The Algerian political, regulatory and legal environment is becoming increasingly complex.

Our firm has established itself as one of the leading legal advisory firm in Algerian law.Algerian law is crucially important in economic relations with Algeria. In fact, the application of the Algerian law is almost systematically stipulated in international contracts that Algerian entities are party to. Contrary to an idea accredited in certain circles not familiarized with the Algerian law, the Algerian law is absolutely not a more or less successful adaptation of other legal systems.  

Algerian law is characterized by its multiple sources and by its complex and evolving content. Whilst Algerian law assigns a certain number of common principles to most civilian institutions, it is highly specific and operates using original and autonomous concepts. Certain cases in Algerian law uphold classic models, whist other cases in Algerian law are the recent product of an economic and social organisation that is constantly undergoing change, principally because of Algeria's switch to a market economy. 

Our firm continually creates values for its clients by challenging conventional legal thinking and employing innovative legal solutions based on the Algerian law and implementing only instruments of the Algerian law. Our clients can thus benefit from these opportunities offered by the fast changes of the Algerian law and in particular of the Algerian business law and the Algerian tax law.  

We are regularly active in the running of complex international business operations and in the disputes, subject to Algerian law, that can stem from them. Our firm has an attested expertise and a large capacity for innovation in the field of Algerian law, acquired during twenty-five years of experience as advisor to international groups and industrial and service companies during their operations and transactions with public and private Algerian entities governed by Algerian law. 

Our firm is in a position to offer clients excellent long standing relations with the Algerian authorities, with which it often discusses the meaning of provisions of the Algerian law created by them, or the manner of interpreting standards of the Algerian law which they must apply.  We also work regularly with highly regarded international law firm and we advise them in Algerian law.
