Middle East Commercial Corporate Lawyers

With offices in the UAE and Australia, we are uniquely placed to advise on investments between Australia and the Middle East (both in-bound and out-bound), and doing business in both those regions.

Our Founder is one of Australia's most experienced lawyers for Middle Eastern transactions and legal support, and also has experience acting for Middle Eastern clients on their investments in Australia.
