Testimonials

Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.

  • ‘The MENA is team overall is excellent - the quality, regional knowhow and network is all there. They have their own in-house team in both Saudi Arabia and Qatar, which is extremely helpful in terms of offering an integrated approach in key markets vs others who rely on 3rd party partners.'

  • ‘The overall team goes above and beyond the mandate, also assisting in ancillary information requests to help get the deal across the line effectively. Zeid Hanania is fantastic, commercial, and helps find solutions for issues to get points across the line. Steve Jennings is excellent, available at all hours, and on top of every aspect of the transaction. He also helps manage the legal counsel for the other side extremely well.’
