Pinsent Masons in the Middle East

With its strategic location as a bridge between east and west, the Middle East is one of the fastest growing markets in the world and it is a key region for Pinsent Mason.  For more than 35 years we have been advising clients on commercial legal issues in this complex and exciting part of the world.  We advise clients on projects, construction and infrastructure, real estate, finance, corporate and commercial, dispute resolution, employment, technology, media and telecoms.

Our lawyers in the Middle East come from many countries and backgrounds. We operate in English and offer legal, business and cultural fluency in Arabic, French and other languages. Proficient in the Islamic Shari’ah legal system, our teams include specialists in particular regulatory environments, such as Iranian Shari’ah law.

We are closely connected with the wider business community across the region. From our offices in the UAE and Qatar as well as our associated office in Saudi Arabia, we have developed a network of preferred law firms, governments, regulators and other business stakeholders which spans the Middle East, North Africa and India.
