Integrated, Strategic & Commercial.
Providing seamless multi-national legal and strategic advice since 2009.
We have over 15 years of experience, in assisting organisations who are either currently operating in the Middle East or are seeking to expand their operations into the Middle East with their legal, contractual and strategic objectives. We have advised and guided a number of multinational organisations through the public procurement, award and implementation of flag-ship government contract awards in Saudi Arabia and the UAE.
The Middle East is a dynamic and fast moving environment. As an increasing number of organisations move into the region to exploit the wealth of opportunities it is critical to ensure that it is done in a manner that adheres to local legislative requirements whilst remaining sensitive to the cultural and theological underpinnings of the region. Doing business in the Middle East can be extremely rewarding provided your organisation is well protected and efficiently structured.
Maintaining lean operations is critical to the responsiveness that is required to be able to respond to changing legislation and new opportunities as they arise. We are able to provide your organisation with the functions of general counsel on a consultative basis without you being tied to the high fixed overheads that this traditionally incurs. This means that you can engage us to provide advice on (i) new legislation (ii) bidding strategies (iii) risk review and mitigation, (iv) conduct contract negotiations and draft new agreements with clients and supply chain vendors, as and when you need to, without having to pay for any of the down time.
We are able to guide your organisation through the pitfall’s, risks as well as the opportunities in the region and ensure that your organisation is not only achieving it’s business objectives but doing so in a manner that safeguards it’s interests. The advice we provide is deep rooted in experience of working in the major financial centres of the Middle East as well as in some of the world’s leading private practice law firms; combined with world leading MBA’s we are able to leverage both the legal and commercial expertise your business will require to thrive.
