Dentons expands presence in Africa with leading firm in Cameroon

Dentons, the world's largest global law firm, has launched its offering with one of Cameroon's leading law firms. The announcement allows clients across the more than 85 countries where Dentons has a presence, to connect with leading legal talent with deep local knowledge of this exciting emerging market.

Kouengoua Minou Nkongho (KMN) has a 40-year history of managing complex cross-border legal matters, servicing clients across Africa and beyond. With extensive experience across a wide range of practices areas, this expansion joins clients to leading talent in corporate law, commercial litigation, mergers & acquisitions and more.

Cameroon's role as a major transit hub positions it as a gateway for global business activity. Its wealth of natural resources has fuelled growth across the oil and gas, mining, and agricultural sectors, driving sustained demand for legal services to support this expansion. Looking ahead, continued infrastructure development and regional integration are expected to unlock even greater opportunities for investment and legal advisory across key industries.

"The launch of our presence in Cameroon strengthens our commitment to offering exceptional service for our clients in and outside of Africa," said Mohamed Zaanouni, CEO of Dentons' Africa Region. "We are excited to work with our new colleagues and help clients explore opportunities in this promising market."

"Dentons is thrilled to help build on the prestigious reputation our new team has established in Cameroon and beyond," said Kate Barton, Global CEO of Dentons. "Together, we bring a powerful combination of global experience and local expertise that enables us to deliver exceptional legal services.
