Our Dubai office provides advice on the core practice areas of Herbert Smith: finance, corporate, dispute resolution, energy and infrastructure and real estate. We have market leading specialist expertise in Islamic finance, private equity and investment funds. The office is the focus for our work with clients throughout the Middle East and with practitioners also experienced in work in Europe, Africa, India, Pakistan, Australasia, Asia and North America, we are ideally equipped to work with locally based clients investing in all these jurisdictions.
In early 2008 we opened an office in Abu Dhabi and our Middle East network is further strengthened by the establishment of a formal and exclusive association in Saudi Arabia with the Al-Ghazzawi Professional Association, one of the Kingdom's largest and leading law firms with offices in Riyadh, Jeddah and Dammam.
Our Middle East offices work closely with offices across the firm's international network, our Alliance firms Gleiss Lutz and Stibbe and our network of relationship firms across the rest of the world to provide a first class seamless cross-border service to our international and regional clients.
