How Introductions Work
When you ask for an introduction, we suggest one independent lawyer suited to your matter. That lawyer then becomes your main point of contact, and may involve colleagues for specific expertise on the same matter.
Lawyers generally focus on a limited number of practice areas rather than trying to cover everything at the same level, which is why we match you by the nature of your matter.
Lawyers in this directory work in Arabic and English, so you do not need to switch between different translators or advisors depending on the language required.
If you would like to understand what this directory covers before reaching out, the about page explains it. For a specific matter you already have in mind, the services page gives a clearer starting point than a general enquiry.
Checking a Lawyer's Credentials
Each lawyer is independent and responsible for their own licence. Before engaging, ask the lawyer to confirm their licence and verify it with the competent authorities.
Ask the lawyer how they keep up with regulatory updates in their area of specialisation, since laws and regulations change.
Who Handles Your Matter
The lawyer suggested for you is chosen based on the nature of your matter, whether company formation, a commercial dispute, a tax matter, or another area.
If your matter spans more than one area, tell us when you get in touch. We can suggest a lead lawyer and, where needed, further independent lawyers for other aspects, so you still have one clear point of contact.
Common Questions
Can I request a specific lawyer?
You can state a preference when you get in touch and we will do our best to accommodate it, subject to the lawyer's availability.
Will the lawyer change during my matter?
That is agreed between you and the lawyer. Ask the lawyer who will be responsible for your matter before engaging.
Do the lawyers speak English for dealing with foreign investors?
Yes. Lawyers in this directory work in Arabic and English, and you can ask for an English-speaking lawyer when you get in touch.
Can I communicate directly with the lawyer?
Yes. After the introduction, you deal directly with the lawyer, for example via WhatsApp, phone, or email, on terms agreed with them.
What to Expect From the Lawyers
Ask the lawyer how many matters they handle and who will work on yours, so you know the details of your file are in careful hands.
Ask whether the lawyer can draw on colleagues for related areas, so a regulatory development relevant to your matter is not confined to one person.
