Alem & Associates is one of Lebanon's first law firms established as a professional association. First founded in 1953 by Me. Youssef Alem, Alem & Associates has recently witnessed an in-depth restructuring of its business in the objective of bringing it to the forefront of legal practice in Lebanon and the Middle East. With associated offices located in many Middle Eastern countries, in cities such as Amman (Jordan), Cairo (Egypt), Damascus (Syria), Dubai (UAE), Kuwait (Kuwait), Manama (Bahrain), and Riyadh (KSA), Alem & Associates has become one of the leading regional, Middle East based multidisciplinary law firms with a global perspective.

Being located in Beirut, Alem & Associates has largely benefited from Lebanon's strategic position in the Middle East, from the abundance of skilled young lawyers graduating from its first rank universities, and from the multicultural and cosmopolitan Lebanese society. As such, Alem & Associates was privileged in being able to serve its clients' interests all over the region.

Our team is composed of more than 40 experienced and active individuals. Our lawyers, associates, and staff dedicate their time and energy both, to the practice of their profession and to a wide variety of business and professional activities. Our lawyers enjoy a constant interaction and legal updates, which, combined with our electronic infrastructure, allows Alem & Associates' lawyers and staff to perform their duties promptly and efficiently.

To maintain the high standard of our services, we place strong emphasis on continuing education for all our lawyers. Through this exposure, many of them have become involved in seminars, conferences and panel discussions, teaching, lecturing and writing in international and local legal publications.

We rely on the cooperation, professionalism and outstanding availability of first-rate support staff to serve all of our clients' needs. Legal assistants and specialized personnel in accounting, library science and our in-house Translation Department round up our team and enhance the excellence of our services.

Our close involvement with governmental and legislative affairs and legal education, our continuing commitment to legal writing and our constant interaction with our colleagues in Lebanon and in the world ensure that Alem & Associates' clients are always at the forefront of significant new legal and regulatory developments.

Our professional approach is dynamism and efficiency always directed to the ability of understanding our clients' objectives.

Alem & Associates was founded on the belief that we would strive to create successful, long-term relationships with clients, dedicate ourselves to the profession, and stand up for the genuine values in the communities where we live and work.

We have developed the people, the experience, the resources and the technologies to provide professional legal services worldwide.

We add value to the services we provide by listening to clients, learning their business and counseling them as advisors, confidants and in many cases, friends.


"Alem & Associates, a fast growing firm …has swept onto the Beirut legal scene."
