Since qualifying to practice in Jordan in 1999, Ala’ has advised both Jordanian and international clients on a wide range of leading corporate and commercial, energy, finance aviation and litigation matters.
Ala’ has particular expertise in the energy sector focusing on power generation, renewables, oil and gas and other natural resources where he has advised clients on negotiations, project agreements and approvals, as well as finance documents. He also regularly drafts commercial contracts across numerous sectors and has deep knowledge of the Companies Law, Commercial Law, Labour Law, Civil Law, Aviation Law and Intellectual Property Law.

Paul Jarvis, Middle East managing partner at Dentons, said, “With his unrivalled knowledge of the Jordanian legal and business environment, Ala’ will assist greatly with the growth of our local practice. He will work closely alongside Amman managing partner Safwan Moubaydeen, providing an even more comprehensive service to our existing clients, as well as attracting new ones.”
