Dentons has been awarded 'Law Firm of the Year' at the TMT Middle East & North Africa Conference, held yesterday in Dubai. Dentons was chosen for the award by a 10-strong judging panel made up of telecom operator, finance and consultancy representatives.

The award was presented in recognition of Dentons’ commitment and for its involvement in major and innovative telecoms projects in the region during 2012/2013, including for operations in Egypt, Oman, Qatar, the UAE and Zanzibar, as well as for telecom public authorities in Kuwait and Saudi Arabia.

Commenting on the award, Jan Willem van den Bos, head of Dentons' UKMEA telecoms team, said; "We are delighted to be given this award.
