Stephenson Harwood named Infrastructure and Energy Projects Team of the Year

Stephenson Harwood has been named Infrastructure and Energy Projects Team of the Year at the Law.com Middle East Legal Awards 2026, with the award presented at a ceremony in Dubai.

The award recognises the strength and continued development of the firm’s Projects, Energy and Infrastructure practice, which advises clients on major projects across the Middle East and internationally.

Over the past two years, Stephenson Harwood has expanded the team and deepened its expertise, strengthening its capability across the development, financing, construction and operation of major infrastructure and energy projects. The opening of the firm’s offices in Riyadh and Al Khobar last year has further expanded that offering, enabling the team to support clients on the ground across the full project lifecycle in Saudi Arabia.

Globally, the practice is advising on projects across a diverse range of asset classes, including offshore wind, ground-mounted solar, battery storage, sewage treatment plants, roads and port concessions.

Iwan Walters, Projects, Energy and Infrastructure Partner, said:

“We are incredibly proud to receive this award. It is a fantastic recognition of the quality of work the team is delivering and of the investment we have made in building the practice over the past few years.

“We have significantly strengthened the depth of the team and our ability to support clients across the full lifecycle of major projects, both in the Middle East and internationally. Most importantly, this award reflects the contribution of an exceptional group of people and the trust our clients continue to place in us.’’
