International and Local
Our clients tell us that, just like the city of Dubai, we offer them one-stop access to East and West which is of vital importance to their success in the global marketplace. Nearly one half of our total billings come from matters outside of the UAE.
Solid networks, long-established links and influential contacts in the Gulf and MESA regions and internationally allow us to enhance our value and to make our clients even more successful at what they do. From our base in Dubai we run additional offices in Abu Dhabi and Sharjah. There is also an association with law firms in the USA and Pakistan.
In recognition of our quality legal services, we are consulted by the best law firms in London, New York, Paris and from across Asia. We are consulted most often in relation to transactions in the Gulf countries, South Asia and Pakistan. We have acted in transactions in India, Thailand and the GCC states.
- Our international clients leverage our regional contacts and experience to succeed with their local projects in the Gulf.
- Local clients value our unmatched diversity of knowledge and international experience for success in doing business East and West of our home base.
- Both local and international clients utilize our unparalleled regional presence, and like Dubai itself, find we are an advantageous hub from which they can launch their businesses from the Gulf and Middle East to South Asia and the Far East.
