DLA Piper has inked a nonexclusive alliance with Afghanistan law firm Kakar Advocates. The alliance has been effective for about eight months, but was officially announced this week, according to Kawun Kakar, founder and managing partner of Kakar Advocates.
Founded in 2013, Kabul-based Kakar Advocates is a full-service firm that employs about a dozen U.S.- and Afghan-licensed attorneys, according to the firm’s website. Clients include foreign embassies, nongovernmental organizations and firms contracted with entities like NATO and the U.S. Department of Defense, the website says. Pajhwok Afghan News reported the alliance June 30.
