FBL Advogados once again affirms its position as one of the leading law firms in Sub-Saharan Africa, having been recognised once more as a Top Tier Firm in the 2025 edition of the IFLR1000, one of the world’s most reputable directories in the areas of financial, corporate and capital markets law.

​

In the 2025 ranking, FBL Advogados remains in Tier 1 in three strategic areas:

​

These distinctions reflect the consistency of the team’s work, its involvement in key projects in the region, and the continued trust placed in the firm by clients and partners.
