International law firm Mishcon de Reya, which has more than 650 lawyers around the world, has officially opened its new office in the Dubai World Trade Centre Free Zone, located in One Za’abeel in Dubai.

The company said the new office gives it a strategic base in the heart of Dubai’s central business district, supporting its growth plans in the UAE and the region, and strengthening its ability to serve clients in dispute resolution and transactions linked to cross-border investments and capital flows.

Christopher Skipper, Managing Partner of Mishcon de Reya in the UAE, said the opening of the new office at One Za’abeel marks an important step in the firm’s business growth and continues its presence and services in the UAE and the wider region.

He added that the UAE continues to strengthen its position as a preferred destination for companies, families and investors from around the world, supported by its dynamic economic environment, advanced regulatory frameworks and ambitious future vision.

Skipper noted that the move reflects Mishcon de Reya’s commitment to the UAE market and its confidence in the country’s position as a global financial centre and a key hub for international trade and investment.

For his part, Abdullah Al Banna, Vice President of Free Zone Regulatory Operations at Dubai World Trade Centre, said that the establishment of Mishcon de Reya’s office within the free zone confirms Dubai’s growing position as a global centre for business, investment and cross-border advisory services.

He added that the Dubai World Trade Centre Free Zone continues to enable international companies through a business-friendly regulatory framework, a strategic location and a connected ecosystem that helps companies achieve sustainable long-term growth.

The opening of the new office comes as Dubai continues to strengthen its presence as a key base for global companies, particularly in the legal, advisory and financial sectors, supported by its advanced infrastructure and attractive investment environment.
