Denton Wilde Sapte’s reach extends from the City of London to the Persian Gulf, and focuses on four core sectors: energy, transport and infrastructure; financial institutions; real estate and retail; and technology, media and telecoms. Although the firm faced some difficulties in its early years, it managed to post growth in both turnover and profits in 2008. The firm’s alliances in Africa look set to yield greater dividends as the firm pursues closer ties with the region, while it continues to expand its presence in the Middle East and the CIS.
