Jones Day’s historic relationships over the past 20 years on a variety of matters in Saudi Arabia and the Middle East naturally led to the opening of our Dubai Office in 2009. Located in the heart of the Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC), our Dubai, United Arab Emirates office is strategically positioned in this increasingly vital economic center of the world to more readily and efficiently serve the needs of our Middle Eastern clients with their international operations and activities, as well as our global clients with their Gulf Region matters and investments.
Our lawyers resident in Dubai have significant and substantial international experience in mergers and acquisitions, capital markets, private equity, energy, banking and finance, real estate, and litigation and arbitration. Our Dubai Office also is able to give legal advice on the local laws of Dubai and the United Arab Emirates, making Jones Day one of the very few international firms qualified to advise on all areas of U.A.E. law. As an integral part of the Jones Day One Firm Worldwide network, which consists of over 2,500 lawyers across 32 offices in 16 countries and four continents, we offer our clients in the Middle East not only an international reach, but also seamless access to substantial legal resources wherever needed around the globe.
