We are seeing increasing demand for high calibre Arabic speaking legal consultants in the United Arab Emirates, across a multitude of disciplines.
Successful applicants will have:

• A minimum of five years' post-qualification experience at a top tier law firm, ideally with some in house exposure either directly or via secondment
• Excellent academic credentials;
• A practicing certificate (or equivalent) which entitles them to practice as a lawyer
• A consultant mindset - be resilient, open to experiencing new challenges and environments and be excited to develop their skill set and brand within the consultancy field
• The commitment and willingness to work on-site in Abu Dhabi or Dubai, to suit client requirements (although hybrid working patterns can be discussed)

What can consulting offer you?
A consulting career through Peerpoint is exciting, varied and extremely rewarding. As a Peerpoint consultant you can have the opportunity to work:

• In-house with one of our clients - this could mean working with a client either virtually or locally to support a project, regulatory reform or transactional work during periods of absence. Assignments can range from three to twelve months in duration and will vary in hours.
• In the A&O SHEARMAN UAE practice to support a specific client or the practice generally during peak volumes. We have consultants that step into the team on an ad hoc basis and those who work regularly to support the Practice.

We only take you on when we see a demand for your particular expertise, making sure there is a good chance we can provide you with work on an on-going basis. We cannot guarantee work but we are every bit as invested in moving your career forward as you are.
