COMPARATIVE GUIDES
IHL SPRING 2017 EDITION
Jordan > Law firm and leading lawyer rankings
Legal market overview
Jordan’s legal market has been affected by the country’s economic downturn, although there are some bright spots such as the opening of the bidding process for the Green Corridor project, which aims to diversify the country’s energy base through renewable energy projects. Government cuts to all but critical projects have led to an increase in disputes, particularly in the context of debt recovery.
Domestic firms Ali Sharif Zu'bi Advocates & Legal Consultants and International Business Legal Associates (IBLAW) lead the market. Regional networks Safwan Moubaydeen Law Firm in association with Dentons and Sanad Law Group in association with Eversheds Sutherland (International) LLP draw on offices across the Middle East to serve an international client base.
