What makes us unique

Our ambition is to be the leading Legal and Tax firm in Senegal and in the sub-region (West African countries). It is our sustainability that sets us apart from others.

As a local firm, FACE Africa has always been outwardly oriented and had relevant multinational companies contained within its portfolio.

Since its inception, FACE Africa has been able to compete with international firms present in Dakar by immediately positioning itself as a leader in the microfinance sector. With all other microfinance institutions in Senegal in its portfolio, it has maintained this position to this day.

FACE Africa competes with a multinational for the leading position in the insurance sector. Currently, FACE Africa holds most of the local insurance companies in its portfolio, including the single national reinsurance company and many multinationals.

With only a few years since its foundation, FACE Africa is a leader in advising the companies operating in the water sector. It also has a strong presence in all sectors of activities (banks, electricity, industry, agrobusiness, mining, oil and gas etc.).
