Capital constraints, increasingly complex regulations and rising resource nationalism are just a few of the challenges facing mining businesses today. With deep experience in the mining industries around the world, and with mining specialists on the ground in the Middle East, we are able to advise both domestic and international clients on all aspects of mining projects in the region.

Working with our offices around the globe, our Middle East team is ideally placed to assist you with transactions in the mining sector. Our lawyers have many years of practical experience dealing with the regulatory regime for the exploration and extraction of minerals, and we have advised on many significant corporate transactions involving the exploitation of mineral rights.

Turn to Dentons for assistance with mergers and acquisitions, project and trade finance, joint ventures, exploration agreements, mining licensing and permitting, offtake agreements, legislative reviews, IPOs, hedging, commercial disputes and much more.

We work with mining clients who are listed on the world’s major stock exchanges, including Australia, Hong Kong, Johannesburg, London, New York and Toronto, and we advise investment banks and financial advisers active in the sector.

While the worldwide demand for minerals continues to grow, driving greater investment and exploration, increasing scrutiny from regulators, host governments and NGOs puts more pressure on market participants. As experts in the field, Dentons' lawyers can help you navigate such issues seamlessly around the world, and you will benefit from our specialist team in the region who can bring unique local insights to bear.
