Lex Mundi, the world’s leading network of premier, independent law firms, has announced the addition of Frost & Fire Consulting as its exclusive member firm for Albania. The appointment reinforces Lex Mundi’s presence across Southeast Europe and provides clients with access to Albania’s foremost business law firm at a time of growing international interest in the country as an emerging investment destination.
Frost & Fire Consulting is Albania’s premier business and commercial law firm. Founded in 2013 by Co-Managing Partners Rezart Spahia and Alfred Rushaj, the firm was established with the goal of delivering unparalleled legal and business consulting services to clients in the Albanian market and the wider regional landscape.
The firm advises foreign investors, multinational corporations, and governmental and international donor agencies across a broad range of practice areas, including corporate and M&A, banking and finance, project finance, energy and infrastructure, real estate, foreign direct investment, contract law, and cross-border transactions.
Frost & Fire Consulting is consistently ranked as the highest-performing legal firm in Albania by leading international legal directories, including The Legal 500, with individual lawyers also recognized in Legal 500’s Hall of Fame and IFLR1000. The firm brings the sophistication, rigor, and superior work product clients typically associate with leading firms in New York or London to the Albanian legal market, combined with deep local knowledge and exceptional value.
Rezart Spahia, Managing Partner, commented: “Joining Lex Mundi is a defining moment for Frost & Fire Consulting. While we have received invitations from various alliances or networks over the years, we remained selective, waiting for the opportunity to join the 'best of the best.' As Albania is increasingly on the radar of global investors, being part of the world's leading network of independent law firms significantly enhances our ability to support complex cross-border transactions and multi-jurisdictional matters. We look forward to collaborating with fellow member firms and delivering the same standard of excellence our clients have come to expect from us — now with a truly global reach."
Helena Samaha, President & CEO, Lex Mundi, added: “Frost & Fire Consulting is precisely the kind of firm that defines the Lex Mundi standard — internationally trained, locally embedded, and relentlessly client-focused. Albania is a market of growing strategic importance, and Rezart Spahia and his team have built a firm that stands apart in the region for the quality and sophistication of its work. We are delighted to welcome them to the network and look forward to the value they will bring to our global clients and member firms alike."
As an exclusive Lex Mundi member firm, Frost & Fire Consulting connects its clients to a global network of more than 23,000 lawyers in more than 130 countries. The addition supports clients engaged in multi-jurisdictional matters and underscores Lex Mundi’s continued dedication to connecting clients with premier firms that are deeply rooted in their local legal and business environments.
