TRW Law Firm: A Leading Legal Partner in the UAE
A Proven Track Record of Excellence in the UAE Legal Market
TRW Law Firm has a distinguished reputation in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) for delivering cutting-edge legal solutions for domestic, regional, and international clients. With a team of over 80 highly skilled lawyers, we provide comprehensive legal services across multiple industries, including finance, energy, infrastructure, corporate governance, and dispute resolution. Our legal experts bring a unique blend of local expertise and international experience, enabling us to handle complex transactions with precision and efficiency.
Decades of Expertise and Regional Presence
Our firm has been actively advising clients in the UAE for over four decades, significantly longer than many international law firms operating in the region.

This allows us to provide real-time, on-the-ground legal support tailored to the nuances of UAE law and business practices.
What sets TRW Law Firm apart is our in-house Arabic capability and our ability to advise on both English and UAE law. Our multilingual team ensures seamless communication and compliance with local regulatory requirements, offering clients a competitive advantage in navigating the region’s legal landscape.
A Strong, Specialized Team for Complex Transactions
With a robust presence in the Middle East, our UAE team collaborates closely with TRW Law Firm’s extensive network of legal professionals across the region. This synergy enables us to rapidly assemble cross-border teams for intricate legal matters involving domestic, regional, and global transactions. Our expertise spans across multiple sectors, including:
- Banking and Finance
- Corporate and M&A
- Real Estate and Construction
- Energy and Infrastructure
- Islamic Finance and Sukuk Issuances
- Regulatory and Compliance
- Arbitration and Dispute Resolution
We have earned the trust of financial institutions, multinational corporations, and government entities by consistently delivering outstanding legal services in high-stakes deals.
