Gowling WLG is the only international Canadian-based law firm in the UAE. We established a presence in the Middle East over 15 years ago with the opening of our Dubai office. Our regional footprint includes an office in Abu Dhabi and a presence in Saudi Arabia and Oman through our cooperation agreements with leading local law firms.

We focus our practice on the UAE's rapidly expanding technology sectors, and vision for a knowledge-based economy. Our core practice areas of technology, intellectual property, corporate, commercial and energy transition, infrastructure & projects and international arbitration are strategically aligned to serve the goals of the UAE economy. With a regional reputation for our award winning technology and intellectual property teams we work across our core practice areas to provide advice that connects business functions seamlessly.

Our service is relationship-led, meaning that we put emphasis on embedding ourselves within our clients teams to provide tailored, business specific advice. We back this advice up with in-depth regional knowledge, which starts with our partners who have collectively been advising on matters in the GCC for over 70 years. Our diverse team of multilingual lawyers are also adept with the local market, having spent time or qualified in one of the GCC countries.
