The firm was among the first to conduct substantial business in the Middle East (1976) and has been licensed in Shanghai since the mid 1990s. Bryan Cave's international ambitions in the Persian Gulf suffered a blow in 2008 when the Kuwait office defected to UK firm Denton Wilde Sapte, although the firm established a Paris office later in the year as part of an international expansion.
