Dahlan stated that the purpose of iQ was to create a “distinctive and collective consulting solution"[8] in the Middle East and the wider Arab World, by coupling the provision of legal advice and services with policy expertise. iQ has since expanded, with further offices in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, and London, United Kingdom, in addition to entering into a strategic alliance with the Washington, D.C.-based global law firm Covington & Burling for the joint provision of legal and consulting services in the Middle East and the wider Arab World.[9]

He has worked extensively on numerous significant infrastructure initiatives in the Gulf, including Doha’s $8.67 billion Specialty Teaching Hospital.

Dahlan is also the Director of the Qatar Law Forum of Global Leaders in Law,[11][12][13] and serves on the World Economic Forum's Global Agenda Council on the Middle East.[14]
