I'm an A0 considering shifting to Dubai to work in IPR/Media Entertainment. What are the possible avenues for me in terms of in-house/ litigation ( if at all)?
Went there after completing a training contract in the UK.
Done a masters subsequently.
Without good contacts, I don't think it is possible to get there straight out of college, but there are plenty of folks here who moved laterally directly from India.
I’ve recently been working in-house with a company in Gaza. Full-work life balance, high pay, and beautiful quality of life. The company also keeps us entertained by sending us for adventure camps in the city.
Al tamimi, angel and afridi are some good Dubai based firms. Practice areas are mainly- projects, project finance and construction arbitration. Data protection, fintech and IPR are catching up.
pls tell the firm's name bro. what practice areas are open to Indians in Middle East. I know that Dubai has a good arbitration and maritime law culture....other than these. Thanks.
Sure I might not be earning as much as the top earners in a desi law firm, but I get home at a good hour and get to spend time with wife and kids. I avoided mid career burn out by moving here.
Also quality of life is great. There is less to no crime, there is no shortage of things to do.

What else lawyers need?
Sane and non-toxic work environment.
Good salary and benefits, as well as bonuses.
30 days leave which we are encouraged to take.
