Patton Boggs is a leader in the complex field of Shariah-compliant finance and investment. Attorneys in the firm’s Middle East and North Africa (MENA) practice group—comprising teams in the firm’s Doha, Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Riyadh, and DIFC offices—assist clients with transactions and financings that are compliant with Islamic law.

Our work encompasses all forms of Islamic finance and investment structures, including murabaha, mudaraba, mu’ajjal, salaam, istis’na, ijara and ju’ala, and the issuance of sukuk. Patton Boggs attorneys have served as counsel to a number of Shariah-compliant investment funds and capital providers for businesses controlled by such funds on a broad range of projects. We have also advised entities involved in government-to-government negotiations intended to expand the range of Islamic banking products and services available in the United States.

Patton Boggs has been honored as a finalist for the Best Islamic Finance Law Firm at the Islamic Business and Finance Awards in Dubai. Our firm was one of very few firms not based in the Middle East to qualify as a finalist in any category for the awards, which celebrate corporate and individual excellence in the global Islamic finance industry. Patton Boggs has been named Finance Monthly magazine’s “Islamic Law Firm of the Year in the United States” for 2012 and 2013, and by Global Law Experts and Corporate International magazines “Islamic Law Firm of the Year in Washington, D.C.” also in 2012 and 2013.
