(Firms to watch)

The Africa practice at Shearman & Sterling LLP is led by Lachlan Poustie and Samuel Ogunlaja, and has been busy working on some large and novel projects in the energy and natural resources sectors.

Tunisia > Foreign firms

Shearman & Sterling LLP combines a track record across North Africa with a sector-focused approach, to specialise in providing support to international clients investing into Tunisia. The firm also frequently represents development banks and multilaterals, as evidenced by Paris-based Lachlan Poustie‘s advice to the lenders (including AfDB and IFC) in the headline-grabbing €435m TAV Airports restructuring. Recently promoted partner Samuel Ogunlaja, based in Abu Dhabi, co-heads the Africa group alongside Poustie.
