ILFA Legal Excellence Academy
ABOUT
ILEA
The LEA is a knowledge exchange programme between in-house and external African counsel and their international counterparts during 2-3 day courses in countries across Africa.
The ILEA is supported by local law societies, bar associations, ILFA alumni and sponsors in delivering training that is supported by international law firms and organisations within the ILFA network.
Our first LEA took place in Lagos, Nigeria in partnership with the Nigerian Bar Association-Section on business law in March 2019. The academy focussed on Banking and Finance and trained 100 selected lawyers from across private practice, in-house legal teams and government institutions.
The ILFA/NBA-SBL Banking and Finance Academy was designed to assist junior finance lawyers in furthering their legal knowledge and expertise in the field of banking and finance. The course was made up of practical and interactive modules and aims to provide attendees with a comprehensive introduction to the fundamentals of banking and finance law.
ILFA continuously works on bringing more LEA programmes to various jurisdictions each year. The programmes will be organised in partnership with ILFA sponsors. The course swill be directed at eligible lawyers across Africa and globally as we plan to host the programme online and in person.
