Emerging Europe, the Middle East and North Africa (“EEMENA”) includes some of the world’s fastest growing economies. As new jurisdictions attract investment, our aim is to be wherever our clients need us, and to utilise, for their benefit, our long history and experience of advising in emerging markets for the benefit of our clients.

As the market leading firm across the emerging markets (ranked alone in the top tier of the Emerging Markets category in Legal 500 UK), Linklaters is committed to providing a premium quality of service to our clients as their needs continually evolve. With offices in key regional hubs and dedicated experts across the firm who specialise in the largest and fastest growing jurisdictions such as Russia, Poland, Turkey, Ukraine, Kazakhstan , the UAE, Saudi Arabia and Egypt, our EEMENA group understands the unique aspects of doing business in emerging markets. This ‘virtual’ structure means that the group can respond flexibly to client demands and combine regional expertise with the skills of our global experts to add value and expert skills.

The region includes:

Emerging Europe
The Middle East
North Africa

We have exceptionally strong relationships with local law firms in countries where we do not have offices, which complements our global standard of expertise and commercial insight.

Through our long history of operating in this region, we have developed a practice which is based on commercial understanding, both global and local, and project management together with technical skills and experience which together add significant value to the execution of the transactions we are involved in. We have advised on some of the largest and most complex deals across a range of sectors, and are well known for breaking new ground advising on market-shaping transactions.
