The African Legal Awards 2017 | Legal Week | 14 July 2017 | The Wanderers Club, 21 North Street, Illovo Johannesburg 2196

The African Legal Awards set out to recognise exceptional achievement from within Africa’s legal community at a time when the legal sector is going through a period of rapid change.

As African economies grow and diversify, local and international lawyers are presented with both opportunities and challenges as they seek to underpin this expansion with sound legal advice.
