We have accumulated over 30 years of deep market knowledge and experience in the sectors in which our clients operate, with particular expertise in insurance, energy, transport, infrastructure, marine and trade, as well as aviation, education, defence, finance, healthcare, hospitality, and technology. Working with industry leaders in the region endorses our reputation for providing practical guidance on how to get things done in what can be a challenging market to navigate.

International and domestic clients engage our lawyers across the full spectrum of their corporate and commercial needs, including company structuring and governance, policy setting and licensing arrangements, employment and Emiratisation issues, funding, procurement, intellectual property (IP), technology and general commercial contracts.

Our teams help institutions manage the increased burden of compliance and provide recovery solutions and assistance when clients are faced with cash collection issues.

We have a strong track record in both the local and DIFC Courts. This means we are well positioned to advise clients who are dealing with disputes and significant international arbitrations.

Our Dubai office acts as a central hub for our regional operations that include offices in Abu Dhabi in the UAE, Doha in Qatar, and Riyadh in Saudi Arabia, providing a full-service commercial offering of local lawyers across most business sectors and practice areas.
