(MENAFN- Gulf Times) Sheikh Thani bin Abdullah has received the 2014 Dentons Award in recognition of his accomplishments, contributions, and global projects in social, humanitarian, and charitable services.
Denton Law Firms global executive director Matthew Jones handed the award to Sheikh Thani at a ceremony held at the Ezdan Hotel here recently in the presence of Dentons Law Firm Middle East officials and other senior executives.
"I am glad and honoured to receive this award knowing that our humanitarian and social efforts have been recognised by a world-renowned organisation. This means that we have succeeded by God's grace to serve the poor, the destitute, and the needy not only locally and regionally but also globally," Sheikh Thani said.
The award, he added, reflects the humanitarian and social perspective "that people should follow regardless of race or social status."
"This also coincides with the wise directives of the Qatari leadership, who is always advising local businessmen to contribute towards the world community," he said.
Meanwhile, Jones said, "Sheikh Thani is not like any other Qatari businessman but rather a generous human being recognised for his humanitarian and charitable global contributions that were evaluated by a special Dentons' committee."
Dentons Middle East CEO Safwan Moubaydeen said, "This international award from Dentons demonstrates the impact of Sheikh Thani's social and humanitarian projects for the welfare of the global community, especially that his humanitarian organisations have no geographical boundaries in order to reach out and feed the hungry, give to the poor, and generally extend a hand to those in need regardless of their affiliation and background."
He added, "The extreme generosity of Sheikh Thani was extended to start these non-profit organisations to help the needy and destitute locally, regionally, and globally, and is considered the largest non-profit charitable organisation in Qatar."
According to Moubaydeen, Denton's operations spans 225 years and has offices in more than 80 countries. It employs lawyers from various nationalities with clients from governments, international and global corporation, decision makers, and dignitaries.
