Depth of knowledge

    Diamantis & Partners was set up as a law firm dedicated to energy and infrastructure projects worldwide, with a focus on emerging markets in general and Africa in particular. It brings together complementary expertises, legal but also strategic. Law is a technical knowledge, but it is also the reflect of thought, of culture, and of power dynamics, deeply rooted in local politics and local history. Having a knowledge which goes further than law is often a valuable advantage.

    Plurality of expertises

    Our team consists of complementary profiles used to working together, all of which are knowledgeable in several fields of law, allowing for a wider span of professional attention. Having the experience of litigation is in our view beneficial to the transactional practice, and likewise, having structured complex projects and having a deep sectorial understanding is also useful in the event of litigation.

    International Expertise
