Algeria’s legal landscape just shifted with the appointment of Nassira Dahou as president of the Court of Conflicts. For entrepreneurs and foreign investors, this move carries weight—especially as the court handles disputes between state institutions and private companies, including those tied to lucrative sectors like energy, telecoms, and infrastructure.
