HLF International maintains a close cooperation relationship with Cabinet El Yezid Ould Yezid, one of the most prominent business law firms in Mauritania.

Founded and led by Elyezid Ould Yezid, the firm has developed a strong reputation for advising international investors and financial institutions on complex transactions involving Mauritania. The practice covers a broad range of business law matters, including corporate and commercial law, energy and mining projects, infrastructure development and investment structuring.

The firm's standing in the Mauritanian legal market is reflected in its recognition by international legal directories. In particular, Elyezid Ould Yezid is ranked in General Business Law – Mauritania in the Chambers Global Guide, where he is recognised for advising foreign investors on major transactions and projects in the country.

Chambers notably highlights the breadth of his practice, which includes corporate advisory work as well as legal assistance on energy and mining projects, sectors that play a central role in the Mauritanian economy. (chambers.com)

Through this partnership, HLF International is able to assist clients involved in investment projects spanning Morocco and Mauritania, particularly in sectors such as mining, infrastructure, logistics and energy.

Given the strategic importance of Mauritania in the regional economic landscape — notably in relation to mining resources, infrastructure development and the growing economic integration of the West African region — this cooperation provides clients with an effective legal platform for projects involving both jurisdictions.

More broadly, the partnership reflects the increasing economic interactions between Morocco and Mauritania and the growing role of both countries within the broader West African investment ecosystem.
