When Al Bahar & Associates was set up in the year 2003 by Late Advocate Mr. Mohammad Al Bahar & Mr. Mazen Y. Ajjour; their vision was to create a law firm dedicated to focus on: helping clients, to provide best possible services, protect their interests and safely meet their business and project goals. However, that founding commitment – to hard work and to ensuring access to justice – remains at the heart of everything we do. Finally, our firm is different from other International Consultancy Law Firm owned by foreign lawyers practicing in UAE due to the fact that it can navigate the clients through the local legal and bureaucratic environment; provide advice on international transaction and litigation services before Courts (Civil & Criminal) and other legal channels such as Arbitration Centers, Police and Public Prosecution.
