About

Zu’bi & Partners Attorneys & Legal Consultants is Bahrain's oldest established and leading law firm. Building on the legacy created in 1921 by the late advocate Sharif Ali Zu'bi, the unique law firm was born out of the  merger between Hatim S. Zu'bi & Partners and Qays H. Zu'bi.

The firm is an international Bahraini top-tier legal services provider in the sectors of banking and finance, corporate, civil, commercial, litigation and arbitration services. For the past 102 years, the firm has been providing its clients with the highest quality legal advice including an impressive history of litigation and arbitration successes. The firm has an exceptional reputation for dealing with unconventional issues and providing innovative solutions specifically tailored to meet its local and international clients’ legal and commercial needs. The firm regularly advises and partners with other international law firms on major infrastructure projects and financing.

Our success is reflected in the quality of our client base which we have built over the years. We proudly act for the Government of Bahrain and quasi government bodies, major national, international and multinational corporations, banks and financial institutions, developers, private and public institutions and high-net-worth individuals. In particular we have considerable experience in drafting of legislation and regulations as well as the interpretation of Bahraini legislation including the Bahrain Constitution.

Our team of lawyers is highly regarded. They come from major international law firms and are members of local and international bar associations. Our lawyers are multicultural and multilingual. All our lawyers are able to provide clients with clear, efficient advice based on a real understanding of the issues and the local laws.

One of the strengths of the firm is its ability to provide strategic legal advice and the firm welcomes the opportunity to assist clients at the business planning stage. We are a one stop law firm capable of providing Bahrain law advice as well as advice on the laws of other jurisdictions to which many of our foreign lawyers belong.
