Built on the vision of combining international legal standards with deep regional insight, the firm supports clients across the UAE, Lebanon, and London, helping them expand, invest, and operate with clarity and confidence.

A Modern Firm Built for Today’s Business Landscape

Led by Founding Partners Marwan Al Remeithi and Zahi Kettani, RK Legal was established with a clear mission: to deliver legal solutions that are practical, strategic, and aligned with real-world commercial realities. Rather than adopting a traditional advisory model, the firm integrates itself into its clients’ operations, acting as a responsive and collaborative extension of their team.

This approach allows RK Legal to support both corporate entities and individuals with a level of clarity, communication, and strategic insight that sets it apart. Whether advising on cross-border transactions or navigating high-stakes disputes, the firm prioritizes outcomes that support long-term success.

Cross-Border Capability with Regional Insight

With capabilities across multiple jurisdictions, RK Legal is uniquely positioned to support clients whose operations span borders. The team brings experience across civil and common law systems, ensuring seamless delivery on complex matters involving multiple legal frameworks. This depth of expertise strengthens the firm’s ability to guide clients expanding across the GCC, the Middle East, and international markets.

Driving Business Growth Through Strategic Legal Support

RK Legal’s integrated service model enables it to support clients across the full business lifecycle. The firm’s core practice areas include:

• Corporate structuring and licensing
• M&A and investment transactions
• Commercial and transactional advisory
• Dispute resolution and litigation
• Sector-focused expertise in funds, real estate, hospitality, and restaurants

This model ensures that fast‑growing businesses, investors, and founders benefit from legal strategies that are not only technically sound but commercially driven. The firm’s ability to explain risks clearly, outline options, and align legal strategy with business objectives plays a key role in supporting sustainable growth.

Notable Client Successes

RK Legal’s track record reflects the strength and versatility of its team. Recent corporate milestones include advising one of the largest clinic groups in Abu Dhabi and Dubai on the launch and structuring of its operations, as well as guiding a major regional e-commerce hub through its commercial expansion.

On the dispute resolution side, the firm secured a significant victory in a major gold trading dispute, representing the client across all litigation stages up to the Court of Cassation. This result highlights RK Legal’s capability to manage high-stakes matters at the highest judicial levels.

Legal Counsel Rita Khoury has contributed meaningfully to both corporate and litigation matters, exemplifying the firm’s cohesive, team‑driven approach to excellence.
