In 2025, ALF acted alongside international legal partners in connection with a USD 2.7 billion strategic partnership to expand and modernize the Misrata Free Zone Port, a transformative infrastructure project aimed at enhancing Libya’s role in regional and global trade.

The project brought together major international stakeholders, including Terminal Investment Limited, MSC Group and Maha Capital Partners, in a multi-jurisdictional transaction designed to strengthen Libya’s position within regional and global trade networks.

Working in coordination with international counsel, ALF provided strategic legal support on transaction structuring, regulatory compliance, contract negotiations and risk mitigation throughout the development of the partnership. The firm advised on complex legal and commercial matters relating to infrastructure investment, port operations and cross-border cooperation.

The expansion project is expected to generate substantial long-term economic benefits, including increased trade capacity, reduced logistics costs, enhanced international connectivity and the creation of thousands of jobs across construction, transport, warehousing and logistics sectors. The development also supports Libya’s broader economic diversification strategy and aims to position the country as a key Mediterranean and trans-African trade hub.

This transaction reflects ALF’s expertise in supporting high-value infrastructure and investment projects and reinforces the firm’s role in facilitating transformative developments that contribute to Libya’s economic growth and international investment landscape.
