We have been instructed on a role with a truly global company who are a technology services specialist and have their international HQ based in the UAE. As a private equity backed business, they are currently undergoing significant growth and are looking expanding their legal function in Dubai.

It is essential that candidates will be fluent in English/Arabic as well as the ability to draft legal documents into both languages too.
