What Al Mahrous & Company does

Al Mahrous & Company is a UAE-based law firm founded in 2003 by Sami Mahrous, who has practiced law in the country since 1982. The firm operates through two licensed entities — Al Mahrous & Company Legal Consultancy – Sole Proprietorship L.L.C (Abu Dhabi) and Nawal Al Hosani Advocates & Legal Consultants (Abu Dhabi and Dubai) — following a 2022 restructuring that introduced the Nawal Al Hosani brand alongside the existing Al Mahrous practice. The firm is headquartered in Abu Dhabi (Al Zahiyah) with a second office in Dubai (Al Barsha Heights).

The firm provides 12 legal practice areas: Arbitration, Banking & Finance, Commercial, Corporate Services, Corporate Structuring, Family Business, Mergers & Acquisitions, Cyber Security & Data Protection, Employment, Intellectual Property, Litigation, and Regulatory Compliance. Services are delivered through a team of approximately 22 named professionals spanning partners, senior counsel, senior associates, paralegals, and administrative staff, with several senior members carrying 17–28 years of legal experience in the UAE and the broader region.

The business model is a B2B sales-led professional services engagement: pricing is quote-based and negotiated per matter, with no public pricing or standardized retainer structure disclosed. The firm serves multinational corporations, start-ups, family-owned businesses, and entrepreneurs across 14 industries, including financial services, oil & gas, real estate, healthcare, and technology. Client acquisition is primarily direct and referral-driven through the two physical offices, supplemented by an active website contact channel and minimal organic social presence on LinkedIn and Instagram.
