Adalci Law was founded by Binta P. Mamadou to provide small and medium-sized businesses with high-quality legal services traditionally offered by big law firms. As a boutique law firm led by an entrepreneur, we understand the importance of balancing a business' unique commercial objectives with its legal needs. 

​

After nearly a decade working with three international law firms in multiple jurisdictions, including Paris, London, New York and Washington, DC, Binta transitioned her practice to provide focused legal counsel to entrepreneurs, small businesses and growing businesses. She has experience advising project sponsors and financial institutions, including commercial lenders and development banks, in a range of cross-border project finance transactions throughout the Americas, Europe and Africa in connection with the acquisition, development, structuring and financing of energy and infrastructure projects. Binta's experience working on complex legal matters allows her to work with and empower clients with strategic guidance and personalized service.

​

As a multilingual attorney with experience in civil and common law jurisdictions, Binta guides clients through a range of legal issues, both domestic and international, while providing informed and strategic guidance.

In her spare time, Binta enjoys working with and educating entrepreneurs and small businesses about the legal aspects of launching and operating their businesses.
