  • United Arab Emirates

    With its strategic location as a bridge between east and west, the UAE is a business hub for the Middle East. Like many of the world's multinationals, our Gulf headquarters are in the UAE. Our understanding of the local business environment enables us to work with government entities, locally owned companies and international corporations.

  • Bahrain

    Home to some of the world's largest banks, Bahrain has been an important banking centre for many years and its banks have played an important role in the region. With a developing public private partnership programme, it is also attracting more foreign investment. There is huge potential for growth.

  • Egypt

    The importance of Egypt cannot be under-esimated given its large population and contribution to the development of the region over many centuries. The influence of Egyptian laws in the Gulf means our understanding of their application in Egypt offers an advantage when working elsewhere in the region.

  • India

    Pinsent Masons' association with India originates with one of our founding partners, Ralph Mason, who was a partner in a Calcutta law firm in the 1940s. Since the early 1990s, we've had a specialist group dedicated to working and understanding how to do business in India. We are comfortable operating in the linguistic and cultural environment.

  • Kuwait

    Kuwait's location at the entrance to the Arabian Gulf and its oil reserves make it an attractive country for investment. It remains a useful staging post for working in Iraq.

  • Oman

    We work with international companies who want to do business in Oman. The opportunities in water, power and tourism complement our own industry expertise.
