With nearly a century presence in the Middle East, the firm has a wealth of experience in the region and continues to broaden its tax service offering in both tax compliance and advisory matters. Nauman Ahmed is the Middle East tax practice leader and firm partner Alex Law is the leader of international and M&A tax for Deloitte in Dubai. In addition, the tax team continues to grow with recent recruitments including general partner Basel Arafe, who joined in January 2023 from Deloitte Canada; transfer pricing partner Husain Miyasaheb joined in January 2023 from PwC Middle East.
