Find out moreThe first Law Update of 2024 is here, and our first focus of the year spotlights Healthcare and Lifesciences, a sector that is undergoing significant growth and development across the MENA region.
Our focus provides an insight into some of the most important regulatory updates across the region, such as the UAE’s groundbreaking law on the use of human genome, Kuwait’s resolution on nuclear and radioactive materials, the new regulations for healthcare services in Qatar, Egypt’s healthcare regulatory framework, and the impact of the Saudi Civil Transactions Law on the healthcare and life sciences sector … and there is so much more!
Beyond the healthcare pages our lawyers share with you multi-sector insights where you will discover articles on Dubai’s DIFC regulatory framework for startups, Bahrain’s commercial agencies law, and we also shed light on Kuwaiti civil code and the advantages of setting up a joint stock company in Saudi Arabia.
Read the full editionBeing a responsible business means we must be transparent and operate with the highest ethical standards. We aim to ensure that ESG is part of our leadership accountability and is embedded into the job roles and responsibilities of all our staff, across all our 17 offices in 10 countries.
At Al Tamimi & Company, we take our responsibilities to be a good employer extremely seriously. This shows in the diverse workplace we have created. It shows in our approach to equitable opportunities. It shows in our governance and corporate culture. It also shows in our partner development programme, which is supporting the promotion of our colleagues regardless of gender.
We have created a workplace that is diverse, open and inclusive. We break down barriers and boundaries, to create an environment where all of our colleagues feel they belong and where there are no differences.
We want to be at the forefront of making a positive impact within our communities, in our firm and across the legal sector. This can only be achieved through continuing to evolve and make progress as a firm and letting our actions speak for themselves.
This focus on diversity, equity and inclusion has impacted our culture of development and growth within the firm, with ‘no boundaries’ being part of our fabric. Our Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Working Group holds our firm accountable. You can see this in action through our Partner Development Programme, which focuses on leadership training, personal development, mentoring and coaching.
The programme has supported many of our female lawyers to become partners and within our business services roles, our senior management team is 70% female.
We are a team of over 55 nationalities, and our professionals (legal and business services) are 56% male and 44% female. We recognise the outstanding efforts of our colleagues throughout the region, and over 50 staff members across all levels and jurisdictions were promoted over the last year, including three female fee-earning lawyers being promoted to partner level.
Providing equitable opportunities sits at the heart of the workplaces we create and is also vital to our recruitment. Our recruitment policy and process are fair, honest and transparent. This means that no applicant or employee receives less favourable treatment on the grounds of gender, age, disability, religion, marital status, race, or any other reason, and is not disadvantaged by conditions or requirements which cannot be shown to be justifiable.
