In October 2026, Baba Hady Thiam and Binta Maïga represented Thiam & Associés at three major gatherings of the international legal community:
- International Bar Association Annual Conference (Copenhagen, 4 to 9 October): the International Bar Association’s flagship annual gathering, bringing together thousands of lawyers, in-house counsel and institutions from around the world to discuss the key issues shaping law and business;
- Africa Counsel Forum 2026 (London, 5 and 6 October): hosted by Clifford Chance under the theme “Collaborating through Disruption”, the forum brought together clients, relationship firms and Clifford Chance lawyers to discuss Africa’s evolving investment landscape, the role of artificial intelligence and opportunities across key sectors such as energy and natural resources, financial services and private capital;
- IR Global Annual Conference (Lisbon, 9 to 13 October): the annual conference of the IR Global network, an opportunity to strengthen ties with the firm’s partners and build new cross-border collaborations.
All three events were valuable opportunities for the firm to discuss investment and legal developments across the African continent and to meet its clients, peers and partners.
