Doha—Dentons is pleased to announce that it has added two new partners to its Doha office - Zaher Nammour and Andy Jones. With effect from 1 May 2014, Zaher has been appointed to the partnership while Andy, previously based in the firm's Milton Keynes office, has relocated to Doha.

Fluent in both Arabic and English, Zaher has extensive experience in corporate joint ventures, mergers and acquisitions, restructuring, public offerings, private placements and the related regulatory framework.

He has wide ranging experience from construction delay claims to rail and infrastructure projects and utility disputes.

Dentons is one of the leading international law firms in Doha. Our continued commitment to Qatar is underlined by the addition of these two new partners and ensures that we will continue to provide our clients with a seamless service"
