Firms in the spotlight: Itkan Law

At Itkan, we believe that lawyers are key agents of social change who have a responsibility to promote innovation, sustainability and economic and social development. Therefore, in order to become the law firm that can best help our clients – and our own people – prepare for and shape the future of Libya, we believe that we must break free from the traditional models that currently dominate the Libyan legal market.

• We aim to become Libya’s first truly national full-service law firm, building on our existing presence in London, Tripoli and Benghazi to cover all major business centres and practice areas.
• We aim to become Libya’s first truly digitalized law firm, creating a technology platform to automate routine tasks and processes so that our professionals can focus more on value-added client services and their own professional development.
• We aim to become Libya’s first true legal partnership, ensuring that all of our professionals will have an equity stake in our business because we believe that this will help us attract the best young legal talent, promote an equitable workplace and sustain our growth far into the future.
• We aim to become Libya’s most socially responsible law firm. We have always been committed to having a positive impact on both our local communities and the wider world and we recently became the first Libyan firm to require its professionals to spend specific time on social impact and pro bono activities.

The transformation of Libya is far from over, and our mission is to help our clients successfully navigate the many opportunities and threats that will emerge from this ongoing transformation, in whatever directions it may go.
