Horizons & Co has entered into a collaboration with a law firm in Oman to bolster its regional network and services.
The UAE law firm has partnered with Oman’s Dr Saif Al Rawahi Advocates, Advisors, and Corporate Consultants (DSA).
The non-exclusive agreement will enable Horizons & Co’s clients in need of legal advice in Oman, or those seeking to enter the market, to access DSA’s legal services. In turn, the agreement will allow DSA to support its domestic clients looking to expand into the UAE.
Further, it will facilitate secondments and the sharing of knowledge among lawyers.
It was signed at a ceremony that took place at Horizons & Co’s office in Dubai on Friday.
Horizons & Co founder and managing partner Ali Al Zarooni said: “Horizons & Co and DSA share the same vision—to deliver excellent client service and legal advice while fostering the continued growth and development of the GCC legal market. This agreement exemplifies this. It will enable us to better support our clients active in Oman or looking to expand there, while at the same time giving DSA’s clients entering the UAE market the benefit of our top-tier services. We are excited to help companies and entrepreneurs achieve their regional ambitions through this collaboration.”
DSA chairman Dr Saif Al Rawahi said: “With many of our clients looking to the UAE and given the synergies between our two firms regarding our values and aims, this agreement is a very positive step forward for everyone, especially our clients. I am particularly thrilled that we will harness this opportunity to share legal knowledge, best practices, and facilitate secondments—the advancement of the law and the professional development of legal practitioners is something both myself and Adv. Ali have always sought to promote.”
Both firms have agreed in principle to collaborate into projects jointly, as deemed fit by the respective principal partners.
In May it was reported that Saudi Arabia’s Alhaqban Law Firm had struck a partnership with Qatar’s Alhababi Law Firm. The partnership, known as Alhaqban Law Firm, serves local and international businesses in Riyadh and Doha.
