A regional team of advocates and legal consultants, led by our founder and shaped by two decades of practice across the UAE and GCC.
Salem Abdullah Sultan AlHamadi founded Rayyan Advocates and Legal Consultants in 2006 with a single purpose: to give clients in the UAE access to legal counsel that is as commercially minded as it is rigorous. Under his leadership, the firm has grown from a Dubai practice into a regional organisation trusted by startups, family businesses, multinational corporations and government departments alike. He continues to set the standard of professional integrity that defines every matter the firm undertakes.
Advises regional and multinational clients on formation, governance and cross-border transactions.
Represents clients before UAE courts and arbitral tribunals, from first filing to enforcement.
Structures financing arrangements and advises on regulatory matters for banking clients.
Handles acquisitions, leasing and escrow compliance for developers and investors.
Guides families through guardianship, inheritance and personal status matters with discretion.
Advises employers on contracts, restructuring and compliance with the UAE Labour Law.
Every member of our team is trained to the same standard of professional integrity — the founding principle of the firm since 2006.
