Our local clients, many of whom have business interests outside the United Arab Emirates, and the international   organisations who we work with, rely on our global perspective. We subscribe to the belief that the world of opportunity does not recognise national boundaries.

International Expansion

Al Tamimi & Company has always been committed to providing exceptional service to its clients, anticipating their needs and consequently setting up specialist services in the appropriate locations. With three offices in Dubai, an office in Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Baghdad, Riyadh and Amman Al Tamimi & Company is at the forefront of the Middle Eastern legal market. In 2007 Al Tamimi & Company announced a new division of the firm specifically dedicated to regional expansion efforts; Al Tamimi & Company - International. This international division actively works to support clients’ regional needs and consequently continues to establish offices in locations throughout the Middle East & North Africa.

Focus on Recruitment

Al Tamimi & Company is a progressive and multicultural firm and has always focused on recruiting the most talented lawyers from the Gulf region as well as Asia, Australia, Canada, Europe, New Zealand and South Africa. Al Tamimi & Company believe it is vital to have knowledge and skills from a global perspective as well as the brightest local lawyers within the Middle East for their skills and expertise in local custom, laws, regulations and practices. The firm continues to bring in the most talented lawyers from around the world, but just as importantly, also continues to ensure the most experienced local practitioners in every offic. Having the international skills and talent while remaining a local law firm has always been one of the great pillars of Al Tamimi & Company's success.

Knowing your Clients

What distinguishes Al Tamimi & Company is that it understands the local culture by being a part the community. Emphasis on local knowledge and abilities has been and will continue to be a critical component of all Al Tamimi & Company offices. The firm continues to build on the Al Tamimi & Company model of providing comprehensive legal and advocacy services with the ability to litigate on behalf of clients directly in their local courts. This gives all Al Tamimi & Company offices a service level advantage over firms in the region that clients truly need and appreciate. Only by establishing locally and offering local expertise can the gap be bridged between an international and local law firm. This is what Al Tamimi and Company has done in the UAE, Qatar, Iraq, Saudi Arabia and Jordan. This is what Al Tamimi & Company will continue to do in new jurisdictions throughout the Middle East.
