Qatar

We provide Qatari clients with quality resources and expert local knowledge. We are instructed to advise Qatari clients, and clients with interests in Qatar, on contentious and non-contentious matters spanning a broad range of sectors. The cornerstone of our Qatari practice is the depth of our experience in the wider MENA region and our strong relationship with local Qatari firms.
  • Profile
  • Experience
  • Key contacts

We have an established pedigree in Qatar, and the wider MENA region, for the quality of the advice which we render both to Qatari clients, and clients with business interests in Qatar.

These clients include government bodies, sovereign wealth funds, banks, multinational corporations, oil and gas companies, operators, contractors, developers, financiers, insurers, small to medium enterprises and private individuals. In many cases our relationships with these clients are very longstanding.

We provide these clients with a full range of legal services on contentious and non-contentious matters spanning a broad range of sectors, not only in Qatar, but across the Middle East and beyond, from our extensive international network of offices and affiliates.

Our on-the-ground experience has enabled us to develop deep relationships with local Qatari firms with whom we work seamlessly to deliver our clients comprehensive advice in a cost efficient manner without time and money being wasted on familiarisation with issues of local law and custom. The breadth and depth of our experience in the wider MENA region has developed over many years.
