Corporate & Commercial

Commercial practice encompasses commercial contracts, compliance with business laws, joint ventures, commercial agencies, franchises, distribution agreements and other commercial arrangements.

Our unique strengths are our knowledge and understanding of the Middle Eastern legal and regulatory environment, combined with our ability to deliver the legal products to international standards. These strengths assure our clients of practical and effective outcomes workable in Middle Eastern countries.

Due to our unequaled regional footprint, we deliver coordinated advice and agreements across Middle Eastern jurisdictions. We handle cross-border joint venture arrangements, as well as franchising and distribution arrangements covering the nine major markets in the Middle East.
