Linklaters is a law firm which specialises in advising the world's leading companies, financial institutions and governments on their most challenging transactions and assignments. With offices in major business and financial centres, we deliver an outstanding service to our clients anywhere in the world.

Linklaters' Dubai office opened in February 2006 and builds on Linklaters' successful thirty-year track-record of advising governments, banks, corporates and project sponsors in the Middle East. The office advises clients operating in the region on a broad range of corporate and M&A transactions as well as finance work, including capital markets, project finance, banking, asset finance and Islamic finance.

Note that since the Linklaters partnership plans to convert to limited liability partnership ("LLP") status on 1 May 2007, the elected partners will not in fact become partners in the Linklaters partnership but will technically become members of the LLP, or employees or consultants of the LLP or its affiliates with equivalent status.
