We’re delighted to see our Founder, @DrHabibAlMulla, on the cover of Law Middle East’s November issue (@law_middleeast). In a candid conversation, he talks about the thinking behind the firm’s growth, his ambition for a UAE-founded firm with global reach, and the legacy he would like to leave for the next generation of lawyers in the region. Here are a few snippets from the interview: - “You cannot start from the top. You have to start from the bottom. I understood all of the groundwork, and then I started to build… It is like a machine: you understand how every part works, so you can supervise it.” - “We watch where UAE investments go. That is how we structure our expansion plan to serve the business community.” We extend our sincere thanks to Law Middle East (@law_middleeast) for this feature. There is much more in the conversation, and we invite you to read it here: law-middleeast.com/emagazine…
