We’re thrilled that we have been awarded ‘Legal Support Service of the Year’ at the inaugural Law Middle East Awards 2025, recognising the innovation and excellence shaping legal teams across the region. The awards spotlight outstanding performance, client service and measurable impact across the Middle East’s legal industry, and we are honoured to be recognised alongside leading firms and practitioners.
More than 200 guests gathered at the Palazzo Versace Dubai in early November for a standout ceremony. The winners were selected by a distinguished judging panel drawn from senior in-house leaders – Ali Haidar, Head of Legal Affairs, Microsoft Middle East, Fadi Kilani, Chief Legal Officer, Al Khaleej Investment, Mohammed Majid, General Counsel, Dubizzle Group, Charbel Sabeh, Chief Legal Officer, Dar Global, and Layla El‑Wafi, Board Director, ACC MENA. Their decisions followed a rigorous review of a shortlist distilled from more than 350 nominations submitted by 120 firms.
Celebrating our Middle East team and community
Commenting on the recognition, Carolyn Aldous, CEO of Peerpoint, said: “This honour reflects the strength, dedication and deep market expertise of our Middle East team, and the outstanding legal consultants and clients we are privileged to work with every day.
