Dubai—Dentons' Banking and Finance team continues to be recognised for its outstanding work having recently won five EMEA Finance Middle East Banking Awards, including the top legal award for 'Middle East Best Law Firm'.

Now in its eleventh year, The EMEA Finance Middle East Awards celebrate the best commercial, Islamic, investment and private banks across the Middle East, as well as brokers, asset managers and law firms.

The Firm additionally collected the 'Jordan Best Law Firm', 'Oman Best Law Firm', 'Kuwait Best Law Firm' and 'Saudi Best Law Firm' awards due to its impressive involvement in a number of 'first of a kind' transactions across the Middle East ranging from sukuk issuances to project financing matters as well as both Islamic and conventional asset finance structures.

The awards represent an impressive end to 2018 for Dentons' Middle East Banking and Finance team, which has garnered no less than 17 deal and team awards in the past twelve months from leading organisations such as Islamic Finance News, the Oath, Bonds, Loans & Sukuk and IJ Global. Additionally, the team was recently named 'UAE Firm of the Year' for both Islamic Finance and Banking and Finance by the Asian-MENA Counsel & In-House Community.

Co-Head of Dentons' Banking and Finance practice in the Middle East, Sadaf Buchanan, commented, "We are privileged to have worked on a number of innovative, diverse and exciting deals across the region, which it is an honour to be acknowledged for. We thank our clients without whom these awards would not have been possible."
