About the Firm

A Qatari boutique law firm that combines local legal knowledge with international law experience, advising clients on their most complex matters across the GCC region.

Firm Overview

Local legal knowledge, international law experience


Ahmed Essa Al-Sulaiti Law Firm is a Qatari boutique law firm that combines local legal knowledge with international law experience.


We advise governments, sovereign entities, multinational corporations and private clients on their most complex legal, regulatory and cross-border matters across the GCC region.

Local Roots, Global Perspective

A founder who has represented Qatar at the highest levels of international law


The Firm is distinguished by our founder's unique background: a Qatari national admitted to practice before all courts in the State of Qatar, who has represented the State of Qatar at the highest levels of international law and diplomacy, including the World Trade Organization, the World Intellectual Property Organization and the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development.


This experience informs how we approach every client matter: with institutional insight, strategic precision and a clear understanding of how law operates at the intersection of policy and commerce.

What We Do

One standard of rigorous, commercially focused counsel


We serve clients across a broad spectrum of practice areas, including international dispute resolution, intellectual property, international trade and investment, and government and regulatory affairs.


Whether representing clients in WTO dispute settlement proceedings, advising on cross-border investments or litigating before Qatari courts, we bring the same standard of rigorous, commercially focused legal counsel.
