We are excited to announce that Serle Court has been recognised as the 'English Bar in the Middle East: Commercial Set of the Year' at the Legal 500 Middle East and North Africa Awards 2026. 

Our Practice Director, Dan Wheeler, collected the award on behalf of chambers at the ceremony in Dubai last night. Rupert Reed KC was also in attendance after being shortlisted, alongside Zoe O'Sullivan KC, for 'English Bar in the Middle East: Commercial Silk of the Year'. 

Following the announcement, Rupert said, "[This Award is] Recognition for a joint effort over nearly 10 years on the part of a committed Counsel team and specialist clerks. It was a real pleasure to see so many great sets of Chambers out here for the occasion, to catch up with so many Dubai friends, and to meet lawyers from almost every Arab jurisdiction in the region." 

A huge congratulations to all those shortlisted!

We are grateful to the Legal 500 for this recognition, and as always, extend our thanks to our clients for their continued trust and support.
