The UAE stands out as one of the world's fastest-growing and most diverse economies. The region's prospects remain optimistic as businesses adapt to the "new normal" in oil prices, with growth expanding beyond the energy sector. Notably, Fintech, e-commerce, and disruptive technologies are thriving, alongside the enduring strength of traditional sectors like real estate, transportation, healthcare, hospitality, and education.

Abu Dhabi has swiftly emerged as a regional hub for finance, innovation, infrastructure, energy projects, and tourism, among other sectors. It has firmly established itself as a prime destination for foreign direct investment. Our presence in the UAE's capital, Abu Dhabi, has been rooted since July 2020. More recently, we've relocated our office to the ADGM, Abu Dhabi's International Financial Centre. This move grants us enhanced access to our numerous clients in Abu Dhabi and deepens our engagement within its thriving entrepreneurial ecosystem. Our expanding footprint in Abu Dhabi complements our existing presence in the region, where we also maintain direct offices in Dubai, Oman, Saudi Arabia, Tel Aviv and Turkey.

Whether you're seeking new markets, investment opportunities, strategic implementations, or assistance with dispute resolution, we boast specialized on-ground teams across some of the most dynamic economies in the region. Our local expertise and business-oriented approach provide you with valuable commercial and legal insights to capitalize on regional opportunities. Our sector-focused approach ensures a thorough grasp of our clients' businesses and markets, enabling us to consistently deliver practical and commercially relevant advice from any of our offices. We prioritize relationships over mere transactions and pride ourselves on being approachable and accessible, setting us apart from many competitors. Our clients often praise our collaborative approach, considering us the human face of the legal profession.

If you are currently operating in the Emirate or have imminent plans to invest there, we invite you to reach out to our Abu Dhabi office. Our dedicated team on the ground will be delighted to provide assistance.
