Dubai—Dentons has secured four prestigious awards at the emeafinance Middle East Banking Awards 2024, held in Dubai on Wednesday 26 February. The firm's Banking and Finance team was recognised as:

• Best Law Firm – Middle East
• Best Law Firm – Oman
• Best Law Firm – Saudi Arabia
• Best Law Firm – UAE

The emeafinance Middle East Banking Awards highlight the best commercial, investment and Islamic banks across the Middle East region, as well as law firms, brokers and asset managers.

"Dentons is our pick for the Middle East region's best law firm. The firm has won this accolade on many occasions over the past 17 editions of our Middle East Banking Awards," says Christopher Moore, publisher and CEO of emeafinance. "The firm is ensconced firmly in the region's banking and financial sector, so much so that it even played an important role in the founding of the United Arab Emirates. The firm's commitment to the region remains unwavering and it is trusted by many of the region's leading banks as its primary external legal adviser."

"Dentons' legal acumen extends across all areas of capital markets, Islamic and project finance," adds Moore. "Across a phenomenal 2024, just a few of the landmark transactions the firm supported included Lulu International Hypermarket's AED 10 billion syndicated financing, Al Rajhi Bank's SAR 1.9 billion Murabaha facility for Jabal Omar Development Company, and project finance legal advisory for Masdar's DEWA Phase VI, which is a 1.8GW solar photovoltaic IPP."

"Winning Best Law Firm across four Middle East jurisdictions is a reflection of Dentons' ability to deliver high-quality banking and finance advice wherever our clients operate in the Middle East," said Abu Dhabi based partner and co-head of the Middle East banking team, Stephen Knight. He added: "We would like to thank all of our banking and finance clients, who we have enjoyed supporting over the last year."
