Zahaf & Partners Law Firm Participates in NOC’s Tender Round in London

We are pleased to share that Zahaf & Partners Law Firm has attended the Third Phase of the Public Tender Round launched in London by Libya’s National Oil Corporation (“NOC”) last Monday, in collaboration with the Libyan British Business Council (LBBC).

Our firm was represented at this event by Mr. Mahmud Zahaf, Partner at the firm and Mr. Mohamed Al-Hamali, Legal Associate. Their participation reflects our commitment to staying closely involved with developments that shape Libya’s legal and investment environment especially in key sectors like energy.

The event was inaugurated by the Acting Chairman of the NOC and held in the presence of the Acting Minister of Oil and Gas and the Chairman of the LBBC. It brought together a wide range of international stakeholders, energy executives, and industry experts to explore new opportunities in the Libyan oil and gas sector.

A detailed presentation was delivered by members of the NOC Tender Committee, outlining the technical framework of the tender round and providing a comprehensive overview of potential investment opportunities. This was followed by focused sessions addressing the legal, regulatory, and technical aspects of investment licensing, which fostered meaningful dialogue between Libyan institutions and the international business community.

The tender round, resumed after a 17-year suspension, represents a strategic move to revitalize exploration and drilling activity in Libya and to strengthen the foundations for economic recovery. The NOC emphasized its commitment to transparency, open partnerships, and expanding international cooperation through a clear and well-regulated licensing process.

As a firm deeply engaged in the legal and regulatory dimensions of Libya’s energy sector, our firm is pleased to continue contributing to these pivotal moments that shape the country’s investment landscape. We value the opportunity to be part of conversations that not only influence legal structures but also play a role in Libya’s economic future.
