Overview

Clifford Chance has had a presence in the United Arab Emirates for 35 years and is one of the longest established international law firms in the country.

Our two UAE offices, in Dubai and Abu Dhabi, are fully integrated into the Firm's international network of offices and serve the whole MENA region. Clifford Chance was named 'Middle East Law Firm of the Year' in the 2009 and 2007 IFLR Middle East Awards.

We have the largest international execution capability of any firm in the MENA region. This means that the work is done locally, by highly qualified and experienced lawyers.

Our lawyers in the UAE combine their international experience and capability with an intimate and detailed knowledge of local requirements in the region.

We deliver expertise through dedicated teams, which are enhanced, when required, by a network of lawyers based in all major business jurisdictions.

Our partners and lawyers all trained with either Clifford Chance, or international or pre-eminent regional law firms and advise on international, regional and domestic matters under both English and UAE law. We have Arabic speaking lawyers for those transactions requiring Arabic language capability.

Riyadh

We have a formal association with Al-Jadaan & Partners Law Firm, the pre-eminent firm in Saudi, where we have five senior lawyers on secondment. Al-Jadaan were recognised as Saudi Arabian Law Firm of the Year in 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2009 by the IFLR.
