We have been shortlisted for three accolades at this year’s LexisNexis Middle East Legal Awards.
The Gateley Middle East team has been nominated for Corporate Commercial Team of the Year and M&A Team of the Year, while employment associate Naba Noor has been shortlisted for Rising Star of the Year.
Now in its third year, the awards celebrate leading legal talent across the Middle East, recognising outstanding leadership, legal excellence and innovation across 33 categories.
Gateley has been a trusted legal partner in the Middle East since 2007. Over the past year, we have significantly strengthened our regional offering, including the arrival of an eight-strong tax team led by new partner Renan Ozturk, the appointment of Alim Khamis as Head of Disputes, and the promotions of Amun Bashir to Partner and Dilini Loku to Legal Director. This investment, alongside the move to the Burj Daman Tower in the DIFC, underscores our continued growth and commitment to delivering market-leading expertise across the region.
Darren Harris, Managing Partner of Gateley Middle East, said: “Being shortlisted for three awards at one of the region’s most prestigious legal events is a tremendous achievement. This recognition is testament to our team’s outstanding work and commitment to delivering exceptional client service, further reinforcing our standing as one of the region’s leading law firms.”
The winners will be announced on 24 September 2026 at W Dubai – The Palm.
