Release
Chadbourne is excited to announce that the firm has opened an office in Johannesburg, South Africa. Lido Fontana has joined the firm as an International Partner in the Project Finance practice and as the Managing Partner of the Johannesburg office.
Johannesburg has become a significant gateway in Sub-Saharan Africa for international banks, multilateral agencies, development and financing institutions and investors. Our new Johannesburg office will enhance the firm’s already vibrant Africa practice and help our clients expand their reach throughout the region.
Chadbourne’s Africa practice draws upon the combined experience of lawyers across multiple disciplines and geographies, many of whom come from multilateral and bilateral agencies and offer a wealth of experience in financing projects throughout Africa. The team is sought out for its experience on sizeable matters in African jurisdictions from Morocco to South Africa. Chambers Global 2014 ranks Chadbourne as a leading law firm involved in many of the largest and most significant projects in Africa, with particularly impressive activity in the power sector.
