AGA is one of the largest professional services alliances in Africa with law and accounting firm coverage in 17 countries. Effective 16 February, Rive & Co will represent AGA in Tanzania and Zanzibar.

The partnership between the two firms marks a significant milestone in the legal industry of Tanzania and by pooling their resources, expertise, and unwavering commitment to excellence, the firms have united to deliver unparalleled legal solutions tailored to meet the evolving needs of clients in Tanzania and across East Africa.

The formation of Rive & Co not only signifies a union of legal expertise but also underscores a shared commitment to innovation, collaboration, and client-centric service delivery. By leveraging synergies between ABC Attorneys' stronghold in Intellectual Property, Technology Law, Corporate Law & Investment Law and Stallion Attorneys' expertise in Corporate Law, Dispute Resolution, Investment, Mining & Energy, Real Estate, Immigration, and Employment & Labour Relations, Rive & Co is poised to set new benchmarks for legal excellence in Tanzania and beyond.

The establishment of Rive & Co significantly enhances the capacity of the firm to serve their international clientele by accessing AGA member firms further across the globe and, through this partnership, the 30 professional advisors at Rive & Co can seamlessly navigate the complexities of cross-border transactions, provide strategic counsel on international legal matters, and offer clients access to a vast network of legal and accounting experts worldwide.

The leadership of ABC Attorneys represented by Chief Innovation Officer and Partner Sunday Ndamugoba and Stallion Attorneys represented by Shehzada Walli, expressed their shared vision for Rive & Co commenting:

“We offer our unwavering commitment to delivering exceptional legal services, fostering innovation, and building enduring partnerships with clients, stakeholders, and the community at large.”

Managing Partner Shehzada Walli added:

“This is a great milestone for law firms in Tanzania and it is time to have large law firms with many partners and associates. This marks the first step to achieving that vision and we hope to keep receiving the support of our team, our clients, the Law Society, AGA, our colleagues in the legal sector and the government so as to continue this vision.”

AGA CEO Giles Brake concluded:

“This coming together of two dynamic, highly regarded law firms creates a new, larger force that will lead the transformation of the country’s legal market. In Rive & Co, we have two expert firms joining hands that are committed to innovation, service excellence and closer collaboration with their clients, and whose team members believe in more efficient, more accessible, and more reliable legal solutions.

“For Alliott Global Alliance, this development ensures we have a firm representing the alliance in Tanzania and the wider East Africa Community that offers greater experience, which operates in an even larger number of areas of the law, and that can play a major role in driving the growth of the alliance on the African continent.
