The only international law firm headquartered in Dubai, Fichte & Co is by now the shipping law firm of choice in the UAE, serving through its offices in Dubai, Tehran and soon Abu Dhabi a worldwide base of clients with interests in the Middle East, Indian subcontinent, central Asia and the Caspian Sea region.
The award winning Shipping Department, arguably the largest in the region, has been many times appraised for its pioneering approach to the subject, mainly because of the new subjects introduced in the region, the cooperation established with the local entities and the pioneering “grow with our clients” concept, reflecting in innovative fee arrangements. All these appraisals have been endorsed by a rather large percentage of ship owners and other industry players, having all chosen Fichte & Co for their legal needs.
Sound legal and commercial approach and thorough understanding of the Middle East market are the ingredients of Fichte & Co’s enormous success. Our lawyers all come from different backgrounds, but all share a true passion for the shipping industry, be it for their family roots or because of their previous career. All lawyers in our Shipping Litigation team are Arabic speakers, an obvious advantage when it comes to UAE litigation.
Not only legal, the mark left by Fichte & Co in the region is also evident in the business networking event known as the Shipping Industry Roundtable: attended by the crème de la crème of the shipping and financial industry, it fills a serious gap that was undermining the growth of the industry.
To put it in our Clients’ words “we dread speaking to lawyers, but we are always keen to talk with anybody at Fichte & Co”.
