CRB AFRICA LEGAL (“the firm” or “CRB”), founded in February 2009 as a solo practice originally under the name CRB ATTORNEYS, has steadily developed to win a place among the top ranking  reputable providers of corporate legal services in Tanzania.

Within a year of commencing business the firm was profiled in the prestigious 2010 Edition of  IFLR 1000 (the Guide to the World’s Leading Financial Law Firms). It  featured in the 2011 Edition among “other notable firms”  and in the 2012 IFLR Edition won a ranking in Tier 3 (www.iflr1000.com).
