Ali Sharif Zu'bi Advocates and Legal Consultants, established in Nazareth, Palestine in 1921 by the late Sharif Ali Zu'bi, is a leading Jordanian law firm with a substantial international practice. We provide a full range of legal services in Jordan, the Arabian Gulf (through our associated office in Bahrain) and internationally through our connections and associations in other parts of the world. We offer a broad array of capabilities in virtually all areas of legal practice, and are heavily involved in most major transactions in Jordan, with a special emphasis on foreign investment, joint ventures, mergers and acquisitions, government and infrastructure projects, and privatisation, in addition to handling major commercial litigation and arbitration matters. Our firm's broad practice areas also include business and corporate, banking and finance, construction, employment and labour, and taxation. We take pride in the talent of our people, the depth of their expertise, and the teamwork employed in providing superior service to our clients. Our lawyers work together and across practice specialties to help clients anticipate and avoid problems, resolve disputes, and ultimately achieve our client's legal and business goals. Whether a small business in an emerging industry or a diversified multinational corporation, each client represents an important relationship, to which we dedicate our best resources, attention, and service. Staying on top of legal and business changes is an important part of our firm's approach. We have committed and knowledgeable partners who have been involved in many of the most important legal matters in Jordan, and who continuously pass on their knowledge and expertise to our associates. Our commitment to ongoing legal education and training, supervision, peer review, and total quality creates a forward-thinking environment that benefits every one of our clients. As our neighbouring country, Iraq has always been a natural market for our firm and in 2003, we expanded our practice by forming an Iraq Practice Group to assist clients in developing business opportunities in the dynamic and uncertain markets emerging in Iraq. Through this platform, we have been able to utilise our firm's unique contacts and experience to advise clients on legal matters and investment opportunities across a broad range of sectors in Iraq. Our firm was founded on a commitment to ethical personal service and valued legal counsel; and after 95 years this has not changed.
