Mitchel & Partners, in association with, Al Menbar Advocates & Legal Consultants (the "Firm"), was established in 2015 in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates (the “UAE”), by four founding partners, Fouad Barbar, Salem Al Kubaisi, Taufeek Bustani and Nizar Saba. As previous members of Tier-1 UAE law firms, they have successfully assisted and advised clients (for an extensive period ranging between 10 and 35 years) on a vast array of legal matters across the UAE (including Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Sharjah, Ajman, Umm Al-Quwain, Fujairah and Ras Al Khaimah). The founding partners recognized the need for creating a law firm that offers (i) top class legal services in terms of efficiency and responsiveness, (ii) a solid lawyer-to-client relationship, (iii) a dedicated team-based structure, (iv) a “partner-level policy” (i.e. all work to be handled/supervised at a partner’s level), while at the same time, (v) offering flexible professional fees structure. The Firm is among the fastest growing and dynamic “One-Stop Shop” law firms in the UAE, with rapidly expanding and diversified practice areas. It offers access to talented lawyers from varied legal backgrounds, and fluency in several languages including Arabic, English and French. Additionally, it combines international best practices and expertise with a deep knowledge of the UAE laws and regulations. The Firm offers expertise of an international law firm in terms of advisory and transactional practice and a local law firm in terms of court litigation practice and procedures. Our UAE advocates are licensed to attend to, and possess the right of audience before, all the UAE Courts, local and federal, (including Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Sharjah and Ras Al Khaimah Courts). The Firm is also able to offer clients, through its GCC affiliate offices, assistance with respect to legal matters falling under the jurisdiction of Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Bahrain, Oman and Kuwait.
