The 2026 Africa Awards shortlist is out, with winners to be announced in Cape Town on March 17

IFLR is delighted to reveal the finalists of the sixth annual IFLR Africa Awards.

To find out more and to book your place at the ceremony, please contact Stuart Gurney.

IFLR’s awards stand out for recognising legal innovation in dealmaking, whether through pioneering new legal frameworks, designing novel structures, or setting benchmarks for others to follow. They celebrate the work that strengthens the cross-border investment environment.

The 2026 Africa Awards will highlight some of those most notable of those achievements of 2025 from across the African continent.

The law firms and legal teams listed on each of the shortlisted deals below are based on preliminary research. If you advised on one of the deals, but are not listed, please contact awards research lead Deborah Olaniyi.

Congratulations to all of those shortlisted.
