How we work with you
When you engage the firm, one lawyer takes the file. The same lawyer who sits with you in the first meeting is the one who negotiates, drafts, and appears in court. There is no handoff to a junior once the retainer is signed. There is no "your lawyer isn't available, but I can take a message." You have their direct line.
When a matter touches a practice area outside the lead lawyer's expertise (a corporate deal that needs employment advice, a real estate transaction with a tax dimension), the lead brings in a specialist from within the firm. You don't have to figure out who to call. Your lead lawyer does.
We work in English, Arabic, and French because our clients and our courts do. Matters routed to a Dubai court in Arabic, an ICC arbitration in English, and a corporate negotiation in French can be handled by the same team, under the same roof, without translation delays or quality loss.

Confidential, and with a partner. We respond within one business day.
