The United Arab Emirates (UAE) is a Middle Eastern federation formed in December 1971 of seven emirates: Abu Dhabi, Ajman, Dubai, Fujairah, Ras al-Khaimah, Sharjah, and Umm al-Quwain. The economic boom in the Gulf has led to Dubai becoming the main hub for international law firms operating in the region.
Our international role includes:
– working closely with governments and Bar Associations in other countries to open new markets for lawyers
– protecting solicitors’ interests when new legislation or professional rules are being implemented abroad
– organising trade missions to key jurisdictions and hold events that promote a greater international awareness of the services solicitors can provide
– representing solicitors abroad through professional organisations that lobby on behalf of lawyers, or provide networking opportunities
– lobbying the European Union institutions on proposals for EU legislation
– lobbying for human rights, both in terms of developments in law, and on individual breaches of human rights.
