Fenwick Elliott’s international practice began in the early 1990s with a concentration on international arbitration particularly in the Middle East. Reflecting the importance of the Middle East market for Fenwick Elliott, we opened our first office in the region in 2015 in Dubai.
Our Dubai office continues to be our international hub, with a highly recognised team based permanently in the UAE.
Fenwick Elliott has extensive experience advising on major construction, infrastructure and energy projects in the Middle East. We have worked with our clients for many years on projects in the region, including in Afghanistan, Bahrain, Egypt, Iraq, Jordan, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Libya, Oman, the UAE and Yemen.
“The team combines hands-on experience with a commitment to attracting top talent, resulting in a strong and cohesive practice. Their price-to-quality ratio is widely regarded as the best in the Middle East.”
