By restructuring its Africa group, Eversheds Sutherland hopes to forge greater ties on the continent and create closer links with its operations in London, Paris and the Middle East. International law firm Eversheds Sutherland has restructured and appointed new leadership to its Africa group, following the departure of the group’s head to fellow international firm Bird & Bird. Deputy head Pydiamah joined legacy firm Eversheds from the Paris office of United States firm Jones Day in 2010, focusing on arbitrations relating to Africa and the Middle East, and advising on Iranian matters, including sanction. Corporate lawyer El Heni is in his second spell at the firm, having previously been at Eversheds for nearly three years from January 2009. He is managing partner of the Tunis office and deputy head of the Africa group in Paris.
