At Alem & Associates we strongly believe that legal publications and writings represent a major tool in the continuing legal education of our lawyers as well as an alignment with the firm's commitment to search for in-depth legal knowledge. The scarcity of existing publications in English on legal and regulatory issues in Lebanon was a main motivation for Alem & Associates' lawyers to bring valuable and consistent information on several aspects of business law.
Indeed, Alem & Associates' lawyers are active on the international legal academic and lecture levels and have being participating as speakers in several international and local conferences and legal publications.
