As part of Meysan’s continued commitment to contributing to the legal discourse in the region, Dr. Abdulwahab Sadeq, Partner and Head of the Competition Practice, was a featured speaker at the inaugural GCR MENA Conference in Dubai. The event brought together prominent legal practitioners, regulators, and economists to explore emerging trends and enforcement priorities across the global antitrust landscape, with a particular focus on developments within the GCC and worldwide.
Reflecting on the experience, Dr. Sadeq noted:
“GCR MENA is a great venue to get up-to-date with competition practices worldwide, featuring top-notch lawyers and offering invaluable networking opportunities with experts from across the globe. Sharing the stage with leading international law firms made for a dynamic exchange of ideas, particularly around the evolving competition frameworks in the Middle East.”
He continued:
“At Meysan, we are proud to be at the forefront of this evolution. Our competition practice advises clients on merger control, abuse of dominance, cartel investigations, and compliance matters across various sectors. As regulators across the GCC scale up enforcement and refine merger review processes, we are uniquely positioned to guide clients through these complex shifts with commercial precision and regional insight.”
“Looking ahead, we expect significant growth in competition-related mandates driven by economic diversification, increasing foreign investment, and evolving regulatory scrutiny. This will require highly experienced counsel, which Meysan is well-equipped to provide. Our investment in specialized talent and our proven track record across multiple jurisdictions ensures we remain a trusted advisor as the region’s competition regimes continue to mature.”
