Al Tamimi & Company

Al Tamimi & Company is the largest law firm in the Middle East with 17 offices across nine countries. Established in 1989, we are a full service commercial firm combining knowledge, experience and expertise to ensure our clients have access to the best legal solutions that are commercially sound and cost effective.
Our clients are at the centre of everything that we do - their business is our business.

Our strength comes from our clients' trust that we will provide them the quality of service that they deserve. Therefore, we make it our business to find creative and commercial legal solutions whilst focusing on making the law work for them. Over the years, we have acted for a wide variety of clients, including: government bodies; government or semi-government owned entities; local, regional and international companies; banks and financial institutions; along with both international and regional law firms.
We're not like everyone else.

As a firm, we have the ability to practice local law in each of the nine jurisdictions where we have a presence. This means that each of our licensed litigators have rights of audience before local courts. We are proud of this unique strength, which truly sets us apart from the competition.

Moving on 30 years later, we represent our clients across the country with offices in Abu Dhabi; Dubai, with three offices; Ras Al Khaimah and where it all began, Sharjah. Our history and longevity in this market demonstrates our commitment, understanding and depth of experience in providing solid and dynamic legal advice.

We are very proud to have been a part of this development and to have assisted our clients take advantage of the opportunities presented. We have also been a key contributor to the advancement of the laws and regulations in the UAE, having worked very closely with governments in drafting and advising on new laws across the country. Our head office is situated in the Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC), which is home to many of the world's leading financial institutions. Our presence in the DIFC has cemented our reputation as one of the leading law firms in the UAE providing commercially sound and reliable legal advice to clients.
