Singapore’s WongPartnership has entered into a strategic alliance with Al Aidarous International Legal Practice, a boutique law firm in UAE that has offices in Dubai and Abu Dhabi. 

With this collaboration, the two firms are looking to provide clients with more extensive support and to boost their capabilities in the Middle East. 

WongPartnership has had a presence in Abu Dhabi since 2008, and until recently, also had an office in Doha, Qatar. 

Launched over two decades ago by Ali Al Aidarous, the UAE firm handles legal matters in various sectors including insurance, contracts, banking and finance, transportation, corporate law, construction, real estate, litigation and arbitration. 

This collaboration “builds on our existing regional footprint of offices in Singapore, China and Myanmar, as well as our other strategic alliances in Malaysia and Indonesia,” said Alvin Yeo, chairman and senior partner of WongPartnership, in a statement.
