Zaanouni is a top 10 firm in the Tunisian market and is one of the largest full-service firms operating in Tunis.

“Dentons’ strategy is focused on finding combination firms who have the proven ability to offer sophisticated, high-quality legal services and business solutions in their home markets,” said Noor Kapdi, CEO of Dentons’ Africa Region.

“Zaanouni was the clear choice for our combination by virtue of its standing in Tunisia and its international focus. Our combination will continue Dentons’ momentum in Africa, enabling Dentons to, once again, maintain and improve its quality as it grows.”

“Zaanouni and Dentons share the vision of building the leading Pan-African law firm owned and controlled by Africans,” said Mohamed Zaanouni, managing partner of Zaanouni. “Our future combination with Dentons means that our clients will benefit from continuing to be served by lawyers that they know and trust while also having access to more talent in more locations than any other firm.”
