The European arm of growing global legal giant Dentons is poised to set up shop in Tehran after forging a local legal alliance with the Arman Pirouzan Parvine Legal Institute (APP).

APP is made up of 10 lawyers and is led by Iran- and U.S.-qualified partner Navid Rahbar-Sato. The Tehran-based firm will advise Dentons’ international clients on a broad range of legal issues, including capital markets, corporate, employment, infrastructure, litigation and regulatory matters.
