Middle East Alliance started as a dream that turned into reality when it was established in 2010. We started as a humble team composed of only three members. evolving into a firm that deals with more than 48 clients, solving approximately 80 cases and providing around 30 legal advice, on a daily basis. As they say “a diver thinking of sharks will never get pearls” It was our firm's mission to provide high-quality legal services, and anticipate all the needs and requirements of both the existing and potential clients that we serve in the United Arab Emirates in the manner that adheres to the highest standards of excellence and integrity, in a timely manner, and for a reasonable and fair fee to both our respectful clients and firm." The main reason for the trust and respect that we have earned from our customers is that we have great people; experts in their fields, known for bringing their strong service ethos in all that they do. We take pride and ownership in all that we provide.
The firm's partners went on a retreat where this mission was adopted. After much discussion, the partners' objectives, incorporated into this statement included:
-
Delivering high-quality legal professional services to businesses and individual clients;
-
Adopting the highest professional ethical standards (IBA Standards);
-
Increasing the firm's market share by satisfying the needs of existing clients and anticipating their needs in the future;
-
