Given the firm's pre-eminent position in the energy industry, the hydrocarbon-rich Middle East is a natural location to find Baker Botts lawyers. In 2005, the firm expanded its presence in the region by opening a Middle East regional office in Dubai to complement our existing office in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. 

Baker Botts' Dubai office provides service to clients in a number of sectors in the energy industry, including oil and gas exploration and development, oilfield services, electric power, refining, LNG, petrochemicals, pipelines and gas-to-liquids. Our energy-related project development and finance work is enhanced by our experience with the complex issues faced in financing these projects under local law, which is largely founded on the shari'a or Islamic law. In addition to work across the broad spectrum of the energy sector, the Dubai office also serves clients with their corporate, banking, finance (including Islamic finance), capital markets, telecommunications, government contracts and dispute resolution matters.

The Dubai office is staffed with lawyers who have extensive experience living and working in the region. They are supported by a team of energy lawyers in London and the U.S., many of whom have also lived and worked in the Middle East.

Baker Botts has represented clients involved in major energy projects in Asia over the course of three decades. Since 2005, our practice in the region has been led by our office in Hong Kong. Hong Kong is the firm's first office in Asia, and it serves as a regional hub, supporting our work throughout the region.

Asian markets have undergone a significant change in the past decade, particularly the energy markets. The region's rapid economic development has brought about a tremendous rise in the demand for energy, with China now the world's second largest energy consumer. Baker Botts' Hong Kong office is well suited to assist energy sector clients with their business and investment needs in the Pacific Rim. 

In addition to our emphasis on the energy industry, the Hong Kong office also provides corporate and private equity clients with cross-border mergers and acquisitions capabilities throughout Asia, with an emphasis on China.
