Harneys, the global offshore law firm, has announced the opening of a new office in Dubai, marking its second office launch this year. This expansion aligns with the firm’s ongoing strategy to enhance its global presence and cater to a growing client base in the Middle East.
Established in 1960 in the British Virgin Islands, Harneys has evolved into a prominent provider of legal services, specializing in jurisdictions such as the British Virgin Islands, Cayman Islands, Cyprus, Luxembourg, Bermuda, and Anguilla. The firm’s network spans major financial centers across Europe, Asia, the Americas, and the Caribbean, enabling it to offer services tailored to clients’ local languages and time zones.

Earlier this year, in July, Harneys inaugurated an office in Jersey, further solidifying its commitment to expanding its global footprint. The Jersey team offers a comprehensive range of legal services, including litigation and insolvency, restructuring, regulatory, corporate, banking and finance, and trusts and private wealth.

The Dubai office is expected to provide a strategic base for Harneys to serve clients in the Middle East, a region that has seen significant growth in sectors such as finance, trade, and investment. The firm’s presence in Dubai will enable it to offer timely and localized legal services to its clients operating in or entering the Middle Eastern markets.
Harneys’ expansion into Dubai reflects a broader trend of international law firms establishing a presence in the region to capitalize on its economic growth and strategic importance. The firm’s continued growth underscores its commitment to meeting the evolving needs of its global clientele.
