Dubai—Dentons' Middle East Banking and Finance team advised on three award-winning deals at the prestigious Bonds, Loans & Sukuk Awards held in Dubai last month. The awards bring together the industry's most high profile figures to celebrate excellence in the Middle Eastern and Islamic Capital Markets.

Dentons Middle East Managing Partner and co-head of Banking and Finance, Paul Jarvis, said, "Hundreds of nominations and thousands of votes were submitted for these awards, so we are delighted that three of the deals we advised on were recognised for their diversity and impact within the industry."
