The Middle East is undergoing rapid economic and industrial transformation
From energy transition and large-scale infrastructure to financial innovation and private capital growth, organisations are advancing at speed while navigating new regulatory expectations, geopolitical shifts and rising commercial complexity.
As a leading global law firm, Ashurst works at the heart of this transformation. Our cross-practice teams collaborate seamlessly across legal disciplines and industries, helping clients harness opportunity and move with clarity in a fast-changing landscape.
A trusted partner for over 200 years — and over 20 years in the Middle East
With a 200-year global heritage and more than two decades on the ground in the region, we have advised governments, investors and businesses through some of the Middle East’s most significant periods of growth. Our deep local insight, combined with global experience, gives clients the confidence to move decisively, make informed choices and deliver complex projects with precision.
Integrated legal and consulting expertise
As the first international law firm in the Middle East with fully integrated legal and consulting teams, we offer a single, aligned model that supports strategy, execution and governance end-to-end. Our cross-practice approach ensures clients receive coordinated, commercially grounded advice that translates directly into action.
Working shoulder-to-shoulder across the region
Our teams in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Riyadh and Jeddah work alongside clients as trusted partners, combining global insight with local expertise. From capital markets, infrastructure and asset management to technology, diversification and sustainable growth, we help clients unlock opportunity and deliver meaningful, lasting impact.
The power of together
Across the Middle East, change is more than a moment — it’s a movement. And when we work together, we don’t just keep pace with change; we outpace it.
Outpacing. Outstanding. Outlasting.
That’s the power of together.
