OUR JOURNEY
1983
New Beginnings
After leaving his home country of Syria, Mr. Maamoun Al Khouli relocated to Dubai, UAE where he planned to start his own practice. An office was established and the legal journey started by specializing in corporate and commercial affairs as a strong advocate focused on litigation in UAE local courts.

Continuous Growth
After 15 years of legal work in the UAE, Mr. Maamoun decided to open a new partnership, branding it Maamoun Al Khouli & Associates. The firm grew to become a multi-disciplinary practice, catering to International law firms, financial institutions, maritime and insurance providers.

Following In His Footsteps
Completing his LLM from Dickinson’s Law in the USA, Mohamad Al Khouli joined the firm as a Legal Counsel.
