We are proud of our hat-trick at the 2025 IFLR Africa Awards, a celebration of the most innovative and impactful legal work across the region. This recognition is a testament to both the trust our clients place in us and also the dedication of our team.

This is a shared success – thank you to our clients for letting us be part of your journey, and thank you to our team for helping us collectively achieve these milestones as a still relatively new firm – even we forget sometimes that ADNA was only founded 4 years ago.

ADNA has won the Algeria Law Firm of the Year at the Chambers Africa Awards 2025!

A big thank you to our clients for your trust and to our team for their hard work and dedication. This recognition means a lot to us!

We are proud to be recognized once again at the IFLR Africa Awards, reinforcing our leadership in Francophone Africa and our expertise across key sectors. This year’s nominations reflect not only the strength of our teams but also the trust of our clients who drive us to excel.

A special mention to our Managing Partner, Salimatou Diallo, who has been recognized in the IFLR Women Dealmakers Hall of Fame—a well-deserved acknowledgment for her outstanding contributions to the legal profession and her leadership in the African legal market. A huge thank you to our clients, partners, and teams for making this possible.

We’re incredibly proud to announce that, for the second consecutive year, ADNA has been shortlisted for two Chambers Africa Awards:

▻ Regional Law Firm of the Year: Francophone Africa
▻ Algeria Law Firm of the Year

The awards recognise a law firm’s pre-eminence in key jurisdictions in the region. They also reflect achievements over the past 12 months including outstanding work, impressive strategic growth and excellence in client service. This recognition means a lot to us and wouldn’t have been possible without the trust and confidence of our clients. Thank you for choosing ADNA to be part of your journey – we truly value your support.

A huge shoutout to our team! Your hard work, dedication, and passion continue to make all the difference.
