He highlighted the firm’s roots in the UAE and acknowledged the opportunity to make a substantial impact by offering legal counsel at COP 28 and beyond. 

“As a firm, we are committed to making a positive impact on society and partnering with COP 28 aligns with our vision and strategic objectives. We are committed to contributing meaningfully to sustainable practices through several initiatives, such as being a member of the United Nations Global Compact, working in our local communities and by offering a comprehensive pro bono programme that provides access to our lawyers across the region. Through our existing programmes and collaboration with COP28 we want to have a broader influence and impact on the business community and society at large”. 

Al Tamimi & Company’s commitment to societal impact extends beyond its role as a legal advisor to COP 28.
