In a significant talent rejig in the African law sector, Standard Bank, one of Africa’s most prominent financial institutions, faces the loss of its top lawyers, who are being lured away by African firms ENSafrica and Cliffe Dekker Hofmeyr (CDH). The departures include the former CEO of Norton Rose.
CDH has been particularly proactive in its recruitment drive, with its recent hires aiming to fortify its legal teams in South Africa and Kenya. While Standard Bank is yet to comment on this development, it is clear the movement of high-level legal professionals to ENS and CDH signals a competitive shift in the African law arena.
