Gibson Dunn took home three awards at the inaugural Law Middle East Awards 2025. We were named International Law Firm of the Year; Renad Younes, Partner in Charge of our Abu Dhabi office, received the Woman of the Year award; and of counsel Sameera Kimatrai received the Rising Star award.

The awards recognize achievements across a broad range of categories, “reflecting the breadth of innovation and excellence shaping legal teams in the Middle East.”

These latest accolades follow our recent success at the IFLR Middle East Awards 2025, where we won seven awards, including the Firm of the Year – UAE: International and Team of the Year – M&A awards. Marwan Elaraby, Partner in Charge of our Dubai office, took home the UAE Lawyer of the Year award, and Renad Younes was named to the Women Dealmakers Hall of Fame.
