Combining Regional Presence, International Expertise and Global Reach

The Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region presents enormous opportunities for involvement in major development projects and market expansion, and the integrated resources offered by Al-Enezee, in association with Squire Sanders, can help you successfully pursue business prospects throughout the region and around the world. Together our lawyers provide valuable experience and insight for clients exploring the legal, regulatory and practical considerations of doing business in the MENA region.

Should your requirements extend beyond the MENA region, the global reach of Squire Sanders and its independent network firms can provide seamless legal counsel across our offices throughout the United States, Latin America, Europe, Asia Pacific and the Middle East.

Middle East Platform

With an established presence in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia and in Beirut, Lebanon, through our association with Al-Enezee and El-Khoury and Partners (EKP) respectively, we have created an integrated platform to deliver sophisticated local services, supported by international expertise and know-how, in response to the increasing market demand for such services. We offer a seamless structure providing our clients with an optimal combination of local presence, legal expertise, sector experience, language capability and cultural understanding.

We represent a diverse mix of regional and international clients ranging from Fortune 100 companies to privately-held family enterprises, from emerging small businesses to mature conglomerates, and numerous public entities and governmental bodies. Fluent in Arabic, English and French, our experts are Western-trained lawyers with extensive experience in civil and common law systems who can help navigate the intricacies of the region’s legal systems and customs. In Riyadh we have seasoned Saudi lawyers admitted to practice law in Saudi Arabia with substantial experience in the business sector and before the local courts.

Al-Enezee in association with Squire Sanders has one of the strongest integrated global platforms. With our longstanding “one-firm firm” philosophy, Squire Sanders provides seamless legal counsel worldwide.

Full Service Capability – Extensive Industry Sector Experience

Our lawyers have the skills and experience to handle a broad range of matters throughout the Middle East across the full spectrum of practice areas and industry sectors. Our extensive local corporate practice advises on the full range of commercial law issues including corporate structuring and restructuring, governance and other services for national, regional and international clients. Among its other credentials, Squire Sanders is one of the most experienced firms with respect to government restructuring and privatization, and one of the most successful representing clients in international dispute resolution. We are also widely recognized as a go-to practice in the telecommunications sector, and have represented major players including governments and governmental authorities, incumbent operators, bidding consortia and new market entrants in Saudi Arabia, throughout the MENA region and around the world.

Global Support

We have built a network of offices and associated independent firms in strategic locations around the world with lawyers collectively fluent in more than 40 languages and admitted to practice in more than 140 courts and jurisdictions. Squire Sanders operates as a single integrated practice rather than a loose confederation of offices or practices. This “one-firm firm” approach provides our clients with a wealth of resources and prompt, efficient access to expertise and in-depth sector experience wherever our lawyers are based. In addition to its own offices and independent network firms, Squire Sanders has developed established relationships with local counsel in key locations to augment available resources in those jurisdictions. For clients based in the Middle East, you can expect quality solution-driven legal services to support your business anywhere across the MENA region or around the world.
