Regional expansion Ankura is actively expanding offices in Dubai and Riyadh with senior-level growth hiring, signaling growing demand in the Middle East for joint venture and partnership advisory and potential cross-border JV opportunities.

Middle East FS push The launch of a Financial Services Advisory practice in the Middle East creates a entry point for banks, asset managers, and fintechs seeking JV structures, partnerships, or strategic collaborations in the region.

Disputes and economics Leadership changes and departures in disputes and economics indicate ongoing diligence, potential need for interim or recoverable value assessments, and opportunities to engage Ankura for governance, restructuring, or forensic services in client JV environments.

Expansion-ready clients Recent client wins and regional growth activity suggest a pipeline of firms evaluating service gaps and capacity planning, presenting opportunities to offer JV strategy, due diligence, valuation, and governance optimization.

Tech-enabled advisory Ankura’s tech stack including planning software, data tools, and analytics platforms highlights a capability to deliver data-driven JV economics, scenario planning, and benchmarking to prospective clients seeking measurable outcomes.
