Hassan Radhi & Associates

What Hassan Radhi & Associates does

Hassan Radhi & Associates is a full-service Bahraini law firm founded in 1974 by Dr. Hassan Ali Radhi and headquartered in AlBaraka Tower, Bahrain Bay, Manama. The firm operates as a privately held partnership led by seven partners and supported by associates, trainee lawyers, paralegals, and administrative staff (16 lawyers total). It provides legal consultation, litigation before all Bahraini courts including the Court of Cassation and Constitutional Court, domestic and international arbitration, company formation, contract drafting, and private notary services across practice areas spanning banking and finance (including Islamic finance and sukuk), corporate and commercial, M&A, dispute resolution, construction and infrastructure, technology and telecommunications, transport and maritime, employment, and family business advisory.

The firm makes money almost entirely through professional services fees billed on a quote-based, engagement-specific model with no publicly disclosed pricing. Its go-to-market is relationship-driven and reputation-based, anchored by exclusive Lex Mundi membership in Bahrain (giving access to 22,000+ lawyers across 125+ jurisdictions), consistent Band 1 rankings from Chambers and Partners, IFLR1000 Top Tier designation, Legal 500 recognition, and a recurring 'Law Firm of the Year' award cadence. Technology infrastructure is conventional for an established firm — digital case management systems, a 5,000-volume in-house legal library, and subscription access to LexisNexis Middle East and EastLaw — supplemented by a public-facing suite of legal calculators for court fees, deadlines, gratuity, and interest.

Customer mix is dominated by Bahraini and GCC financial institutions (National Bank of Bahrain, Al Salam Bank, Ithmaar Bank, Kuwait Finance House, Al Baraka, Investcorp, GFH Financial Group, Solidarity Group), insurers, and sovereign / quasi-sovereign entities (Kingdom of Bahrain, Mumtalakat, Nogaholding, Infracorp, APM Terminals), with multi-billion-dollar mandate evidence including the USD 2.2 billion Al Salam/Ithmaar retail banking acquisition, the USD 1.9 billion Al Dur Phase 2 IWPP, and a series of sovereign and corporate sukuk issuances. The firm operates from a single Manama office and serves international clients indirectly through Lex Mundi referrals and direct cross-border mandates.
