Government work operates at the intersection of law, commerce and policy. In the Middle East, Dentons was one of the first law firms to recognize it as a distinct business sector.

From international trading blocs to national, regional and municipal administrative bodies, the role of government as policymaker, regulator and market participant has never been greater. Public and private sector organizations need to understand how and why government decisions are made and deal with the effects of those decisions.

Whether relating to procurements, defense offset projects or policy and regulatory advice, our team provides the legal and business experience you need in the Middle East. Tap into our deep relationships with governments across the region. Draw on our vast experience advising government institutions and regulatory bodies regionally, as well as working with multinationals on bids for major public procurement projects. When pursuing or managing government contracts, partner with Dentons on the complete range of procurement and tendering requirements, including documentation development and tender processes management.

One of the largest and longest established international law firms in the Middle East, Dentons has had offices in the region since the 1960s. More than 110 lawyers and professionals serve your needs from offices in Qatar, Abu Dhabi, Jordan, Egypt, Dubai, Oman, Lebanon, Turkey and Saudi Arabia.

Our highly experienced team in the Middle East has also worked on a range of defense offset-related matters, having been involved in the original establishment of the UAE offset program. We have also advised on a number of offset-related projects and entities in Saudi Arabia, and on new laws developing in Oman pertaining to this sector.
