Middle East & North Africa

The Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region is a dynamic landscape filled with opportunities for financial investments and commerce. Whether Israeli clients exploring growth prospects in this region or foreign entities aiming to access the Israeli market, we accompany our clients from the very beginning of their journey towards success.

Our dedicated team of lawyers specializes in creating meaningful connections between Israel and MENA countries, with special emphasis on the United Arab Emirates and Morocco, while facilitating innovative collaborations and fostering strategic partnerships. Since the declaration of the Abraham Accords, we gained extensive experience in advising Israeli companies on establishing, expanding, and forming partnerships within the MENA countries, particularly in UAE & Morocco. We work closely with the DIFC Innovation Hub, DMCC and other free zone areas, act as exclusive members of the Abrahamic Business Circle, and have cultivated strong relationships with other key stakeholders in the MENA region, which proves essential in helping our clients unlock the vast potential available in this region.

Through various partnerships and collaborations, we have obtained the necessary skills and mastered the intricacies of conducting transactions in MENA countries and specifically in the UAE.

Examples of legal services provided to our clients in this region include:

• Guiding tech ventures in the formation of corporate entities and presence in the UAE and in their interactions with investors, including handling and leading venture capital and private equity transactions.
• Advising on clean energy projects and investments, including renewable energy initiatives and sustainable practices, as well as assisting clients in navigating the carbon credit market, emissions trading, and carbon offset projects.
