Practice/Industry Group Overview

For U.S. and multinational companies, the Middle East and post-war Iraq offer a wealth of opportunity. But establishing and operating businesses there can be risky without the strategic guidance of professionals who know the region intimately and who can work closely with policymakers and regulators in the U.S. and overseas.

Our Middle East Group offers an unparalleled grasp of the region's laws, politics, culture and economy, gleaned from more than a century of combined experience working in the Middle East on behalf of clients and the U.S. government. Our Group includes the former U.S. Ambassador to Oman, G. Cranwell Montgomery.

For more than 20 years, we have successfully represented clients in this region, helping companies organize and operate businesses in Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq, Israel, Kuwait, Oman, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia and Turkey, as well as neighboring countries in Eastern Europe and Central Asia. Most recently, we have helped clients design and implement programs for participation in the reconstruction of Iraq and Afghanistan.

The services we offer include strategic business planning and development, public policy counseling and advocacy, regulatory advice and representation, and political and economic risk analysis. In everything we do, we place a premium on keeping our clients educated and informed.
