Technology lawyers, Abu Dhabi

We have great clients with a need for commercial technology lawyers across a broad range of PQE levels.

Whilst the roles vary, there are common themes, as outlined below:

So why these roles?

  • Strength in numbers – large, supportive legal and commercial teams.
  • Cutting edge – interesting work across a wide range of applicable sectors.
  • Market leadership – spearhead projects that are changing the face of business, how tech works, and how far it can reach.
  • Progressive environment – established but new, every day is a new day!

What you’ll be doing:

  • Drafting a wide array of commercial contracts, usually with a technology element to the work.
  • Structuring and refining frameworks in which commercial deals can be done.
  • Refining workstreams, creating efficiency and aligning any compliance and regulatory needs.
  • Liaising with outside counsel as well as external third parties or joint venture clients.

Who you’ll likely need to be, in order to succeed:

Whilst there is a degree of flexibility, there are some core guidelines that make the backbone of the client expectations:

  • A Common Law training background, with experience from either international standard law firms or corporates (ideally both).
  • Ideally you’ll have experience of helping clients turn R&D technology concepts into commercialised deals.
  • You’ll need to be commercially driven, smart and agile in your approach.
  • A skill set of general commercial, tech, and IP.
  • Overseas applicants are welcome, but Middle East exposure is always preferred.
  • We’re happy to speak to commercial tech lawyers from 2-20 PQE.
