affiliation

Hourani & Associates has always been strategically comfortable with its strict domestic law focus, combining its local knowledge and personalized service with unparalled legal expertise of the Saudi Arabia and UAE markets.

We have been able to successfully establish ourselves as the preferred local counsel for a number of US and Magic Circle firms who have come to rely on our competent and timely execution and on-the-ground first hand knowledge of the region. Through the personal relationships developed, we have been able to build a "best friend" alliance with a number of those reputable firms. Indeed, many of our lawyers joined H&A after distinguished careers at a number of these very firms.

Our integrated working relationships with our “best friends” enable us to offer our clients a breadth of coverage and expertise which is not reflected in the league tables and to serve our best friends’ clients when called upon, all whilst preserving our much-prized autonomy and efficiency. On cross-border deals, we are able to successfully achieve a degree of integration on an operational level similar to that offered at a one-stop shop.
