I strongly recommend Hamdan AlShamsi Lawyers & Legal Consultants who helped and advised me on an employment matter. The team is very professional, efficient and friendly with an outstanding customer service. They put the customer’s comfort and needs first, with free legal advice over the phone. Mr Hamdan Al Shamsi and his team have always been available with prompt response to my emails and calls and they provided the precise advice that I needed. They went above expectations and completed tasks in a proactive manner despite their busy schedule and many clients. Thanks again for your legal advice, time, and efforts.

Professional advice in a holistic manner is provided to the clients for consideration. They will help you to make informed decision and wise judgements. There is No Fine Print with the client as transparency is integral to their practice. I enjoyed working with their team immensely and will always bank on them for professional legal advice and consulting.

After using several lawyers in the region for the same case, I have to say that Hamdan Al Shamsi and his team have earned my utmost respect. Their responsiveness is exceptional. A couple of times, I needed to contact them late at night, and they responded—something I haven’t seen many lawyers in this region do. They literally held my hand, even when I had personally lost hope. Without a second thought, I wholeheartedly recommend them! God bless them all!

A very professional and efficient firm who presented great team depth. The team went above and beyond expectations and completed tasks in a proactive manner. As an expatriate, it was very comforting knowing that the firm had a sound understanding of local and international law.

We were in the best of hands from day one, and we would like to thank you the entire team for their support, hands on care and expertise throughout the process.

The firm is very flexible in terms of what you want, and they come to a solution on payment terms. Furthermore, their follow up, and completion of cases and constant updates is what makes them different.

I would say it’s the people, the team’s responsiveness and personal interest in the case that definitely sets them apart. I’ve had lawyers for the same case who would behave like they were doing you a favour by doing their job. Hamdan Al Shamsi is definitely a firm that is on your side and their behaviour reflects the same. They are also thorough in their reviews and understand every element. I have had instances when I’ve needed to call them past midnight, and each and every one of them responded.

Legal500 EMEA 2025

I have never had to follow up with them. The client relationship manager always gets back to me ahead of time and keeps me updated on my case. One of the team members has always accompanied me to the departments and assisted my family throughout the entire process. Even when I needed to be released, he was by their side all the way. The legal team worked hard and diligently to put my defense together for court. Lastly, Mr. Hamdan Al Shamsi personally took up my case and represented me in court. Overall, the cohesiveness of this team is what impressed me the most.
