About us: KBH is a DIFC, Dubai based regional law firm with offices in Kuwait and Bahrain. The firm specialises in international commercial transactions and disputes, frequently with a dimension beyond the GCC. Since its foundation in 2006, KBH has been instrumental in a significant number of key precedent setting cases and occupies a prominent award-winning position for its strategic and advocacy services.

Our goal is to grow as a progressive law firm of choice with a strong emphasis on providing innovative legal solutions, understanding our client’s need for cutting edge affordable legal expertise.

The firm’s expertise and experience, and the trust and confidence of our clients, enable us to accurately assess litigation risks. Our diverse and flexible fee structures, ranging from traditional retainers to fixed fee arrangements to deferred fee arrangements based upon risk sharing, as well as the use of litigation funding are tailored to each client’s requirements in managing their legal costs.

KBH contributes to developing rules in the GCC through its advocacy on new precedents as they arise and through its wider professional advocacy.

Our practice: KBH is renowned for its commitment to excellence and the ability to find innovative solutions to complex legal problems.

Our clients benefit from a cost-efficient litigation service and from in-house counsel who are able to provide input from the inception of the case, which contributes to higher success rates in all of firm’s matters.

Diversity and CSR: KBH is defined by its diversity and inclusiveness. Team members are from a wide range of nationalities speaking multiple languages and from diverse cultural, religious and ethnic backgrounds. The firm has naturally evolved as a diverse workplace environment characterised by a notably strong gender balance including in senior positions.

Anchored in our jurisdictional knowledge and our regional presence we see our diversity as a necessary part of the firm’s ethos in offering our clients, from wherever and whoever they may be, the benefits of a global outlook.

KBH is promoting and liaising with the legal affairs departments of the countries in which it is present to increase opportunities for local lawyers to gain experience with the firm and run placement schemes. The firm also has a strong coordinating role in onshore UAE litigation, and career development opportunities in regional onshore litigation will be a focus in the years ahead.

KBH  prides itself on being an inclusive, diverse, harmonious and friendly workplace.
