Ally Law Expands Global Reach into Four Strategic Growth Markets

MINNEAPOLIS, MN – April 28, 2026 – Prominent global legal network Ally Law has announced a significant expansion, welcoming four new member firms in Ghana, Israel, North Macedonia, and Turkey. The move bolsters the network’s presence to 80 firms across 60 countries and signals a strategic push into regions experiencing dynamic economic growth and increasing demand for sophisticated cross-border legal services. The new members are Nartey Law Firm in Ghana, MOi Law in Israel, Lazarov Law Office in North Macedonia, and Pelister Keki Saraç & Co in Turkey.

This expansion reinforces Ally Law’s position as a Band 1 Global Market Leader, a distinction it has held for six consecutive years from Chambers and Partners. The network’s model, which connects independent, full-service law firms, is designed to provide multinational corporations with deep local expertise backed by a coordinated global framework.

A Calculated Move into Dynamic Economies

The selection of these four nations is far from arbitrary, reflecting a careful analysis of economic trends and future market potential. Each country presents a unique opportunity for clients engaged in international trade, investment, and operations.

In West Africa, Ghana represents a key commercial hub. While its overall “Ease of Doing Business” ranking from the World Bank has seen fluctuations, the nation scores highly in areas like “Starting a Business” and “Protecting Minority Investors.” The presence of a firm like Nartey, with its dual U.S. and Ghanaian legal expertise, points to a growing need for counsel that can navigate both local regulations and international business standards.

Israel’s inclusion comes as its economy demonstrates remarkable resilience. The International Monetary Fund (IMF) projects a solid GDP growth of 3.5% for 2026, and the country has made significant strides in its business environment, jumping 14 places to 35th in the World Bank’s “Ease of Doing Business” index in a single year. This positive trajectory is expected to fuel demand for high-level legal support in cross-border M&A and corporate-commercial matters, areas where its new member firm, MOi Law, specializes.

In the Balkans, North Macedonia has quietly become a standout for its business-friendly environment, ranking 17th globally in the World Bank’s 2019 report. With the IMF projecting stable GDP growth of 3.1% for 2026, driven by investment and consumption, the country is an increasingly attractive destination for foreign capital. The addition of Lazarov Law Office, with its founder’s background in the government's legal department, provides Ally Law’s clients with invaluable insight into the nation’s regulatory landscape.

Meanwhile, Turkey’s economic outlook has been revised upwards by both the IMF and the World Bank, with growth forecasts nearing 4.2% for 2026. This anticipated expansion in private consumption and investment has improved its “Ease of Doing Business” ranking to 33rd. The growing economy is generating significant demand for legal services across banking, finance, energy, and M&A, creating a fertile ground for Pelister Keki Saraç & Co, a firm already recognized by Legal 500 EMEA for its expertise in these sectors.

Local Powerhouses Join a Global Stage

The strength of a legal network lies in the quality of its members, and the four new firms bring a wealth of specialized knowledge and established reputations to Ally Law. Each firm was selected for its deep local roots, cross-border capabilities, and a collaborative ethos.

• Nartey Law Firm (Accra, Ghana): Founded in 2020 by William Nartey, a U.S. and Ghana-trained attorney, this six-lawyer firm is uniquely positioned to advise multinationals and SMEs on litigation, transactions, and regulatory compliance. Its multi-jurisdictional experience is a critical asset for clients operating in the region.

• MOi Law (Tel Aviv, Israel): A fast-growing firm established just three years ago, MOi Law has already built a 14-lawyer team. Founded by former senior litigation partner Michael Oiknine, the firm combines a leading disputes practice with robust corporate and commercial work. Its cross-border M&A practice, led by U.S.-born partner Jacob Shwergold, is particularly vital for international clients.

• Lazarov Law Office (Skopje, North Macedonia): Established a decade ago by Dragan Lazarov, the former head of the government’s legal department, this firm offers unparalleled public-sector insight. Its team provides comprehensive advice on commercial law, dispute resolution, and regulatory matters, guiding clients through North Macedonia’s legal framework.

• Pelister Keki Saraç & Co (Istanbul, Turkey): A full-service firm founded in 2010, Pelister Keki Saraç & Co has earned accolades from Legal 500 EMEA. Advising a mix of domestic and international clients, the firm’s expertise spans corporate law, M&A, banking, energy, and litigation. Its international footprint, with partners based in Amsterdam, New York, London, and Milan, underscores its global orientation.

The Network Advantage in Global Business

This expansion highlights the growing appeal of the legal network model as an alternative to monolithic global law firms. For corporate clients, networks like Ally Law offer a compelling value proposition: access to premier, vetted local lawyers who possess nuanced understanding of their home jurisdictions, combined with the seamless coordination and global reach of a unified entity. This structure provides flexibility and often proves more cost-effective, allowing clients to receive tailored legal strategies rather than a one-size-fits-all approach.

By integrating these four firms, Ally Law not only fills geographical gaps in its coverage but also deepens its collective expertise. The move enables the network to offer more robust support for complex, multi-jurisdictional transactions and disputes that touch these increasingly important markets. “These firms enhance our strength in key markets and reflect the high standards and collaborative spirit that define Ally Law,” said Paola Sangiovanni, President of Ally Law, in a statement. “We are delighted to welcome them all to our global community.”

The integration is about more than just adding pins to a map; it is a direct response to the evolving needs of multinational corporations. As businesses navigate an increasingly complex geopolitical and economic landscape, the demand for agile, regionally-attuned legal counsel has never been greater. This expansion ensures that Ally Law and its members are well-equipped to meet that demand, providing sophisticated legal services focused on value and efficiency across the globe.
