Al Tamimi opens Bahrain office

Manama, June 30, 2014

Al Tamimi & Company, the largest law firm in the Middle East, has set up an office in Bahrain, giving it a permanent operational presence in all GCC countries.

The firm now has 14 offices, located in eight countries in the region.

Located in Bahrain Financial Harbour, Al Tamimi's Bahrain office will be led by Foutoun Hajjar, an English-qualified solicitor and barrister with 22 years of professional experience, reported the Gulf Daily News, our sister publication.

She has spent the last nine years working in Bahrain in both private practice and in-house positions.

"As a GCC firm, we are licensed to practise local law in Bahrain," Al Tamimi managing partner Husam Hourani said.

"Our opening in the country is particularly important as it marks our physical presence across the entire GCC.

"With global businesses choosing cities like Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Manama and Doha as their regional headquarters, we are supporting those decisions by providing the full range of contentious and non-contentious corporate legal services on the ground across all the major markets.

"Our lawyers know these local markets very well, and they have the specialist skills and experience to support our clients' needs.

"We look forward to supporting even more businesses and individuals in a market that is growing and offering exciting investment opportunities."

Transportation Minister and EDB acting chief executive Kamal Ahmed said it was significant that Al Tamimi decided to complete its presence across the GCC by opening in Bahrain.

"Our economy is growing, and in any growing market business activity needs to be supported by quality legal services that truly understand the region.

"Last year, the EDB attracted $114 million in foreign investment into the country from North America, Europe and Asia, and played a role in the establishment of 35 foreign firms in Bahrain, which highlights the robust investment opportunities available in the country.

"This positive momentum has continued this year," he added.-TradeArabia News Service
