The members of CMS are in association with The Levant Lawyers with offices in Beirut, Abu Dhabi, Dubai and Kuwait.
TLL has nearly 50 lawyers working from its offices in the Middle East. Through TLL, our clients will have access to dedicated tax and legal experts throughout the region without any significant duplication in cost. The shared values of TLL and CMS, encapsulated in our dedication to serving clients, are:
- Safeguarding clients concerns and utmost interests;
- Creative thinking;
- Entrepreneurial Spirit;
- International outlook balanced with maintaining local understanding.
Of particular importance is that given the similarity between most of the regional legal and judicial systems, TLL is able to match resources with demand. By way of example, in litigation, it is able to be actively involved in the preparation and presentation of cases before local courts consistent with the requirements of those courts even where members of the local bar are the only advocates entitled to appear before a judge or tribunal. This enables clients to have a day to day appreciation of what is happening on their cases. Similarly in relation to transactions which have to be Shari’a compliant, TLL recognizes that the integrity of the transactions must extend to the structure and institutions involved. Lawyers in TLL understand that Shari’a Law is not jurisprudence-it is a way of life.
