Magic Circle law firm Linklaters has launched its flexible lawyer platform in the Middle East, marking its first international office since its inception in 2019.
Re:link connects businesses with consultant lawyers approved by the firm, who can support them with their resourcing needs.
Since its inception in May 2019, Re:link has supported over 100 businesses.
Its expansion comes at a crucial time for the Middle East, as rapid economic transformation, rising deal volume, regulatory reforms, and cross-border activity fuel demand for more adaptive and agile legal solutions.
Re:link head Martin Laing said: “The Middle East’s remarkable growth and dynamism makes it the ideal next step for Re:link’s growing global footprint and marks our first international office. It marks an exciting development in Linklaters’ client offering in the region, allowing us to match clients with top-class Re:link lawyers who are brilliantly equipped to help them to navigate the many complex challenges they face.”
Re:link Middle East client manager Simi Ahuja added: “We are thrilled to be establishing Re:link’s presence in the Middle East, a region undergoing extraordinary economic and legal transformation. Re:link’s adaptable model is perfectly positioned to help businesses navigate challenges and seize opportunities in this dynamic landscape. It’s exciting to connect high-calibre legal talent with rewarding opportunities while providing clients with the agile, tailored support they need to thrive.”
Re:link joins a number of flexible lawyer platforms established in the Middle East, including Peerpoint by A&O Shearman, Vario by Pinsent Masons, Lawyers on Demand, and RAYNE, co-founded by Law Middle East March cover star Sarah Jones.
