client service delivery.
Our UAE Intellectual Property (IP) team is led by partner Jon

a wide range of sectors, combining global reach with deep local
legal and regulatory expertise. It stands out as one of the most

This latest award follows on from previous success in this category, having

in the Chambers Global 2026 edition and continues to be ranked by
leading legal directories. Most recently, it was named UAE
