Our firm represents companies in Asia, Europe, North America, and worldwide seeking to do business in the Middle East. With offices in the key cities of the region, we advise on all commercial matters throughout the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) States. We work with our clients locally and abroad to help them make informed and strategic decisions about pursuing all types of commercial relationships and business activities.

We provide many global companies with general commercial and business advisory services regarding their business endeavors in the Middle East. This includes advising on matters such as agency, distributorship, franchises and licensing. Expectations and requirements in the Middle East are often very different from the expectations and requirements to which business executives and lawyers in other regions are accustomed; and, as a result, navigating the local landscape requires highly-experienced local counsel.

At GLA & Co, our lawyers work closely with our clients to help them effectively mitigate their risk and maximize their business opportunities in the Middle East. We have decades of relevant experience. We have earned a worldwide reputation as strategic counsel for commercial and business matters in Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
