Law.com International named Crowell & Moring as its “Middle East Law Firm of the Year – Qatar” just three years after the firm opened its Doha office.
The news was announced at Law.com International’s annual awards event on April 25, 2024 in Dubai, where 400 of the industry’s top lawyers gathered to recognize a host of in-house legal departments, law firms, and industry leaders for their outstanding work.
Crowell was recognized for its complex litigation, infrastructure, and regulatory work on behalf of top clients, including Fortune 500 companies, government entities, private corporations, and leading universities.
“We are tremendously proud to be recognized as Law.com International’s Middle East Law Firm of the Year – Qatar. We consider our greatest accomplishment to be how we have helped leading international organizations enter and expand into Qatar and drive growth throughout the MENA region,” said Charbel Maakaron, managing partner of Crowell & Moring’s Doha office.
Since launching in Doha, Crowell started a secondment program, which hosts public sector lawyers for up to six months to work as part of the Crowell team. And it hosts a legal internship program that regularly welcomes professionals from diverse nationalities.
Crowell is a top 100 U.S. law firm and is now one of the largest international firms in Doha. The office is the MENA hub for the firm’s premier client list, focusing on global infrastructure, international dispute resolution, and litigation. Its team, consisting of two-thirds Arabic speakers, represent clients in industries including aviation, energy, infrastructure, technology, media, hospitality, retail, and more.
