Fares Group is partnership initially created in Italy in 2004 with the goal to assist medium-sized companies whose rapid growth in the North African markets required ongoing legal support. We opened our first North African office in Libya in 2007 with founders Elias Fares, Yannil Belbachir and Rodolfo Drudi among the first in the industry to recognize the importance of a local presence. We have been privileged to advise some of the largest industrial, commercial and financial groups on the establishment of the earliest Joint Venture in Libya, drafted the first Articles of Association of new Algerian corporate forms and have taken the lead on creating many innovative structures in all core areas of our practice. Today, we are proud to be one of the most deeply rooted law firms in Maghreb but also in Europe and in other challenging countries.
