Ali Moiz Ansari Appointed Banking and Finance Partner at Dentons in Riyadh
The world's largest global law firm, Dentons, has announced the appointment of Ali Moiz Ansari as a partner in Riyadh in its Middle East Banking and Finance practice. Ansari joined the firm on 12 October 2025.
Ali Moiz Ansari brings extensive experience in energy and infrastructure projects, project finance, Islamic finance, corporate finance, privatisations, and public-private partnerships. Since relocating to Riyadh in 2018, he has developed strong relationships with key clients in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) and the wider GCC, alongside a deep understanding of the Saudi legal system.
He has regularly advised Saudi, regional, and international banks lending to KSA entities and projects, and has worked closely with the Saudi government, government-owned entities, the Public Investment Fund (PIF), and several PIF portfolio companies.
Paul Jarvis, CEO of Dentons UK, Ireland and Middle East (UKIME), said,
"Ali's appointment aligns with the strategic objectives of the Middle East Banking and Finance practice group and to a key investment area of our UKIME strategy. Hiring Ali provides an opportunity to reinforce our banking and finance offering in KSA at a time of growing client demand for this type of advice and experience."
Stephen Knight, Head of the Middle East Banking and Finance practice, said,
"We are delighted to welcome Ali to our Middle East Banking and Finance team. It is a pleasure to have someone of Ali's calibre join us and his energetic approach to client work will further strengthen our commitment to being client-centric. Ali is the third partner to join our Banking and Finance team in the Middle East this year and we look forward to making further announcements of additions to our partner and counsel team across the region in the near future."
Ali Moiz Ansari’s appointment follows the recent relocation of Debt Capital Markets partner Victoria Wyer to Dubai from London and the earlier appointment of Ahmed Butt as a Banking and Finance partner in Dubai.
