Legal Services
The UK's legal services sector is a cornerstone of global commercial activity, providing the trusted framework that underpins international business. British legal expertise combines centuries of jurisprudential tradition with cutting-edge innovation, creating solutions that span from complex cross-border transactions to emerging digital assets. As part of the UK's modern Industrial Strategy, the emergence of new technologies and new rules to regulate them across different international jurisdictions continues to drive innovators to the UK's trusted legal framework to agree contracts and settle disputes, creating new opportunities for gold-standard legal practices. UK firms excel in arbitration, commercial law, and dispute resolution, whilst pioneering lawtech innovations that transform service delivery. English and Welsh law governs 40% of global corporate arbitration, reflecting international confidence in the UK legal system's integrity and stability, enabling businesses across the Middle East to operate with certainty and unlock new opportunities for growth.
