Middle East

Holland & Knight has been assisting clients in the Middle East for many years in connection with a wide-range of activities such as banking and finance, construction, hospitality, energy, joint ventures, corporate law, mergers & acquisitions, international trade and security matters, as well as transportation. The firm also represents clients from the region in connection with their U.S. activities, including regulatory and compliance matters. Our clients in the region include international and local private companies, investors, sovereign governments and local and foreign government military departments.

The firm supports its UAE and Qatar client matters from the Abu Dhabi office, which also serves as a regional hub from which the firm serves clients from or doing business in surrounding regions from India, through the greater Middle East and in Africa. Holland & Knight professionals have extensive experience and knowledge about working in and representing clients from these regions.

For local United Arab Emirates matters such as litigation, Holland & Knight also works closely with the Abu Dhabi based law firm of Al Masaood & Associates. We also utilize our close relationships with many of the leading locally-based firms throughout the rest of the region. With our regional experience and close relationships with other local law firms, our clients have access to the full range of legal services required to support their businesses.
