Founded in 2023, Brodies Middle East LLP was established by leading UK law firm Brodies LLP as a separate legal entity to provide dedicated legal services in the Middle East. Building on many years of experience advising Middle Eastern clients from the UK, the firm opened its office in Abu Dhabi to offer enhanced local support and deliver legal solutions that are closely aligned with the region’s unique business environment.

Proximity to clients is a core value at Brodies Middle East. The Abu Dhabi-based team operates with the belief that being immersed in the same environment as their clients allows them to offer sharper insight, stronger relationships, and more tailored advice. The firm is particularly distinguished for its deep sector expertise in the energy industry, covering both oil and gas and renewable energy.

In the oil and gas sector, Brodies Middle East advises across the entire asset lifecycle—from start-up and exploration through production and ultimately decommissioning. The firm supports clients with a wide spectrum of legal needs, ranging from day-to-day operational guidance to strategic transactions, including M&A and energy transition projects. The team's in-house experience working with major operators and service companies across the Middle East, UK, and globally adds critical commercial insight to their legal acumen.

The firm also plays a vital role in the renewable energy transition, advising on wind, solar, tidal, hydro, bioenergy, hydrogen, and low-carbon transport projects. 

Brodies Middle East offers complementary legal expertise in areas such as regulatory compliance, shipping, health and safety, competition law, intellectual property, IT, and employment law—providing clients with a comprehensive and seamless legal service offering.

With a focus on clarity, innovation, and client-centric service, Brodies Middle East LLP is positioned as a trusted legal partner in the region’s evolving energy landscape, supporting businesses at the intersection of legal complexity and strategic transformation.
