A VIEW TO THE FUTURE

Our Corporate Vision is to be the UAE’s premier commercial law boutique and the Middle East’s leading full-service aviation law practice.

MISSION STATEMENT

I. By virtue of our size: Innovate, offer flexibility, and create novel models to deliver the highest quality of work to our clients and international law firms.

II. Provide a First Class service with effective and responsive communication that places clients needs at the center of everything we do.

III. Empower our lawyers to add-value, assume joint responsibility, and develop a happy and sustainable working environment.

MORE THAN A “LOCAL” FIRM

Proudly rooted in the UAE, Al Jallaf is more than just a “local” firm. The predominant perception of local law firms have not always been positive. The experience of the international business community has been that such firms can be unresponsive, unappreciative of commercial deadlines, and stunted by communication difficulties. More than simply overcoming these perceptions, Al Jallaf actively promotes better working practices. Placing our client’s needs at the centre of everything we do, our internationally qualified team provide regular feedback, English and Arabic language documents and summaries; and workable commercial and legal solutions.

MORE FLEXIBLE THAN “BIG LAW”

Our business model means we can readily supplement the work of international law firms, providing key local litigation support and advice. Our Team is highly experienced in running its own case management, but can also seamlessly (and virtually) sit within a team managed by your own international legal counsel. Our standards and internal procedures have been developed to converge and integrate with those of international counsel. We keep these standards under regular review to ensure we move with developments in legal practice. However, we do not aim to mimic the business practices of “Big Law”. Clients benefit from our independence and practical local knowhow. As we choose to remain small, Al Jallaf offers its clients a more flexible, bespoke service. Moreover, we remain unrestrained by office bureaucracy and conflicts of interest.

“JUST RIGHT”

By virtue of our unique business model, Al Jallaf aims to be your strategic partner and not just your legal representatives. In real terms, this means we are able to provide:

• customised fee arrangements that reflect your direct relationship with the lawyers handling your matter;
• when the need arises, the ability to assemble a tailor made legal team, compromised of leading advocates and solicitors, including Queen’s Counsel;
• access to our local and international network of special relationships with law firms across Europe and the Middle East;
• Novel models of working that deliver high quality output, and allow us to work independently or in collaboration with your preferred international counsel.

We view our mission as being broader than just providing high quality legal services. We aspire to raise the profile of local legal services, strengthen the rule of law in the UAE, and inspire the next generation of Emirati lawyers. In the mould of Dubai itself, we offer a First Class service while retaining a strong self-awareness for our firm’s vision and identity.
