Chambers and Partners recognises DLA Piper as the UAE’s Technology, Media and Telecoms Firm of the Year

Leading legal research company Chambers and Partners (Chambers) has recognised global law firm DLA Piper as the UAE’s Technology, Media and Telecoms Firm of the Year at its annual Chambers Middle East Awards 2026. The awards recognise outstanding legal expertise and casework, strategic growth and excellence in client service delivery. Winners are selected following an assessment of work and  accomplishments from the past year.

The award marks DLA Piper’s third success in the category in recent years and, alongside over a decade of consecutive first tier bandings in Chambers’ broader rankings, further reinforces the firm’s reputation for leading on major technology and transformation projects in the region, backed by deep local expertise and a strong global platform.

Paul Allen, Global Co-Chair Intellectual Property and Technology and partner (Dubai), comments: “Over twenty years of advising the UAE’s innovators, investors, governments and institutions on transformational projects has given us a front row seat as the Emirates’ technology hubs have become an increasingly important force in the global tech ecosystem”.

“Our team shares the same ambition, talent and global outlook that have driven our clients’ many successes over this past year. By bringing together leading lawyers with deep regional expertise, we continue to strengthen our position as the only band 1 team across both of the region’s leading legal directories”.
