Reed Smith was one of the first international law firms to commit to building a presence in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). We deepened our roots in the region when we opened our Dubai office in 2006. Our dedication to the growth and potential of the UAE have garnered strong relationships with some of the most significant entities in the area’s public and private sectors.
Together, our UAE offices serve as the hub of Reed Smith’s practice in the Middle East, South Asia and Africa. Our team of talented, multilingual and Arabic speaking lawyers in these markets enable us to provide comprehensive legal services to multinational companies with operations or interests across the region and beyond.
Reed Smith Academy
In 2022, we launched the Reed Smith Academy in the UAE, which hosts a training programme enabling in-house legal teams and law firms to sponsor individuals through the process of qualifying as a solicitor (England & Wales). The programme prepares individuals to sit both stages of the Solicitors Qualification Examination (SQE) and acquire additional practice knowledge and skills, all while still working for their employers or on secondment.
The Reed Smith Academy specifically encourages applications from those seeking a recognised international professional legal qualification after graduating from university or those who are already practicing under another legal qualification and are seeking to dual-qualify.
For more information, contact us and we will get in touch.
