Firm Description

Afridi & Angell is one of the oldest law firms in the United Arab Emirates. The firm was established in 1975, not long after the formation of the United Arab Emirates in 1971.

Our history and reputation for quality legal work has made the firm an integral part of the country’s legal landscape and one of the premier law firms in the region. The quality and high standards of the firm are set and preserved by the partners who boast an unrivalled range and depth of local, regional and international experience. Their innate understanding of client needs coupled with their ‘hands on’ approach to client matters has undoubtedly formed the basis for the firm’s sustained and growing international reputation. Our lawyers are trained in international jurisdictions and bring with them international experience and the world’s business languages.

We advise local, regional and international clients on a wide range of transactions and legal issues. Our commitment to practical and solution-based advice is valued and recognised by clients.
