About the Firm

Two decades of legal counsel, built on integrity

Rayyan Advocates and Legal Consultants is a full-service law firm headquartered in Dubai, advising businesses and individuals across the United Arab Emirates and the wider GCC.

Our Story

From a Dubai practice to a regional firm

Rayyan Advocates and Legal Consultants began its operations in Dubai as a full-service law firm in 2006, and has attained great heights under the patronage of its founder, Mr. Salem Abdullah Sultan AlHamadi.

Since then, the firm has expanded its reach across the Middle East, growing into an international organisation of highly trained associates who believe in professional integrity. Our client base has grown alongside us — from startups seeking clarity on local law to large multinationals and government departments seeking a trusted partner on the ground.

As one of the region's established local firms, we have represented individual and business clients before trial and appellate courts, and our experience continues to benefit clients who place tremendous faith in our services.
