Since opening in 1979, Baker & McKenzie's affiliated office with Legal Advisors has consistently been ranked as a top tier practice in the Kingdom. Our lawyers are regularly recognised by legal directories as leaders in their field and our broad experience and familiarity with the market enable us to provide uniquely insightful solutions and advice.
Baker & McKenzie has been active in the Gulf for more than three decades. With offices in Saudi Arabia, Bahrain and Abu Dhabi, we have a substantial presence in the region and sophisticated knowledge of local rules and business practices. PLC Which Lawyer? recognised us as Middle East Law Firm of the Year in 2008 and 2009.
Our Gulf practice operates in a seamless manner, removing the usual logistical issues that occur between international and local counsel. Our ability to deploy an integrated team means higher efficiencies, lower costs and a higher level of service overall. Unlike most law firms, our strategic location in the region and extensive global resources across 42 countries enable us to advise clients on a wide range of international and domestic matters. We can handle all aspects of our transactions and work with both English and Arabic documentation. Our Gulf practice has English and Middle Eastern qualified lawyers and fluent Arabic speakers.
