Bowmans Expands Influence in African Legal Markets with Strategic Hires from Global Firms


Bowmans is strategically enhancing its prominence in Africa’s legal markets, particularly within the energy, infrastructure, and M&A sectors. The firm is actively recruiting top lawyers from prominent global firms, including Allen & Overy, Shearman & Sterling, Clifford Chance, and Watson Farley & Williams. This recruitment drive is part of Bowmans’ broader strategy to fill the void left by international firms scaling back their African operations. Alan Keep, Bowmans’ managing partner, envisions the firm taking over many projects previously managed by these international giants, having recently onboarded over 30 lawyers.
