Middle East

If you are looking to establish or grow your interests in the dynamic markets of the Middle East we have the resources and expertise to support all aspects of your business. We have consolidated and expanded our presence in this fast-growing region with our lawyers operating throughout the key commercial centres, including the United Arab Emirates, Oman, Saudi Arabia and Lebanon.

CMS has deliberately developed a unique footprint across six countries in the Middle East. Our energetic, agile team of over 90 lawyers is one of the most dynamic and forward-thinking in the region. We have doubled in size in just 18 months, investing in the region to support your success.

There are two things that really set us apart:

• Sector expertise - many of our lawyers have worked in-house and all immerse themselves in the sectors of their clients. Our lawyers talk your language, understand your commercial priorities and advise at every level of your organisation. We are fully integrated in all that we do, which allows us to draw on our global network of sector specialists to bring international insight to your project.
• Commitment - to creating an agile team that matches the ambition and energy of our clients and the Middle East itself. Growing rapidly, we are investing in our clients, supporting our local communities through pro bono and corporate responsibility initiatives and attracting the best talent.
