Bringing with him over 30 years of executive experience and a proven track record of business acumen, Chris will play a pivotal role in driving pan-

African growth, elevating strategic vision, and enhancing client impact.

With an extensive background in business growth strategies and leadership across Africa, Europe and

As the Firms and Adili Group continue to build on their successes, Chris’ appointment is a strategic step towards enhancing the delivery of integrated and relevant client services across multiple business lines. 

This strategic move aims to foster collaboration and embrace cutting-edge technology as a key enabler of efficient service delivery. By doing so, the Firms and Adili Group are better positioned to adapt swiftly to the evolving landscape of legal and strategic advisory services,

Chris’ expertise in business leadership, market planning, and growth initiatives will be instrumental in helping clients navigate an increasingly complex business environment across borders with agility and efficiency. His deep understanding of international marketing and business dynamics in Africa establishes him as an experienced leader in innovation, growth, and market leadership, accelerating the strategic vision of the Firms and Adili Group.

As the Firms’ Director of Growth and New Markets, Chris will champion focused expansion efforts, reinforcing the dedication to pioneering innovative and market-leading strategies. These efforts will integrate top notch legal expertise with strategic business solutions and sound commercial advice to deliver impactful results for clients. He will also play a pivotal role in supporting the growth and business strategy for clients across Africa and the MENA region, leveraging the pan-African ALN alliance (currently in 14 countries) and its regional gateway office in the UAE.

As Executive Chairman of Adili Group, Chris will draw on his wealth of experience to provide clients with the insights and solutions needed to tackle today’s corporate challenges, including in managing business risks and disruptions. 

He will also steer the organisation’s strategic direction, with a focus on

expanding offerings in existing and new markets, further solidifying Adili Group’s status as a premier Karim Anjarwalla, ALN Board Director and ALN Kenya Senior Partner, commented about Chris’ appointments, stating, "I am thrilled to welcome Chris into this pivotal role within our expanding

businesses.

scalable delivery capabilities, Chris will play a key role in fostering trust and delivering sustainable outcomes for our clients.”

Chris Diaz commented on his appointments, stating, "with ambitious expansion plans underway at

ALN Kenya, ALN Tanzania and Adili Group, we are committed to bolstering our capabilities both across Africa and on a global scale. Serving as Executive Chairman at Adili Group and Director of Growth and New Markets at the Firms is a tremendous honour. I look forward to collaborating with

ALN and Adili have incredibly talented leaders as problem-solvers, and there has never been a more crucial time for us to unite and bring our Africa-to-

the-World strategy to fruition. I am deeply committed to empowering our clients to navigate complexity with confidence, transforming their operations, and discovering new avenues for growth."
