About

Provided by Eversheds Sutherland

Our practice advises on transactional, corporate, commercial, banking and finance, regulatory, energy, construction, real estate, leisure and TMT. Our team is growing and we continue to be involved in prominent and innovative M&A deals. We are also getting increasingly more involved in transactions that relate to other parts of the region, including the UAE, Saudi Arabia and Iraq. 

We have extensive experience of supporting and advising start-ups and SMEs in Jordan. This includes advising on the full ambit of commercial and corporate issues, including matching investment opportunities with investors and advising on and structuring deals. 

In addition, our team co-operates with government agencies and private sector companies to introduce wide-reaching economic and regulatory reforms in Jordan. These include advising on the creation of a development zone, and developing laws in relation to the environment, property, data protection, credit information and bankruptcy. 

We have a team of over 100 lawyers in seven offices across five countries in the UAE (Abu Dhabi and Dubai), Jordan (Amman), Qatar (Doha), Saudi Arabia (Riyadh; Mohammed AlDhabaan & Partners in association with Eversheds Sutherland), and in the Kurdistan region of Iraq (Baghdad and Erbil). Our lawyers are qualified to practice in Middle Eastern jurisdictions, England and Wales, and the US.
