Doha, Qatar – December 9, 2025: Crowell & Moring was recently named Arbitration Team of the Year at the LexisNexis Middle East Qatar Business Law Forum 10th anniversary gala dinner and awards ceremony. The award comes on the heels of another major recognition for Crowell’s International Dispute Group in Doha, which was also named Arbitration Law Firm of the Year 2025 by Thomson Reuters’ Asian Legal Business Middle East Law Awards in October.
QBLF also recognized Crowell with honorable mention in the Banking & Finance Team of the Year category. The recognition marks a significant achievement for Crowell’s Doha office as it celebrates its fifth anniversary, underscoring the firm’s commitment to excellence and client service in the region.
“This award is a testament to the dedication of our international dispute resolution and arbitration team, and to the confidence our clients place in us to navigate sensitive, high-stakes matters with care and precision,” said Charbel M. Maakaron, managing partner of the Crowell’s Doha office. “We thank our clients for trusting us with their most important matters and for the privilege of partnering with them as they grow in the region and beyond.”
Hosted under the patronage of the Ministry of Justice, the Qatar Business Law Forum 2025 Gala Dinner & Awards Ceremony recognizes exceptional achievement within Qatar’s legal community. The awards are judged by an independent panel composed of industry leaders, academic practitioners, and government officials.
In 2024, QBLF named Crowell’s Doha office the Banking & Finance Team of The Year, and in 2022, it named Crowell the International Law Firm of the Year.
