Overview At Al-Zubi Law Office, we are heavily involved in legal consultation and litigation, representing corporations, banks as well as individuals before courts and tribunals and before other governmental bodies. Most of the issues we work on stem from commercial and business background. During the many years of service, the firm has worked with a multitude of international law firms and business consultants, in negotiating and drafting international commercial agreements. This has provided us with extensive experience in various practice areas including financing and supply agreements, corporate transactions as well as joint ventures. We were prominently involved in setting the legal and regulatory framework for the privatization of several sectors including ICT in Palestine. Hence, we have been heavily consulted and involved in addressing the legal and regulatory aspects of privatization programs. We have also been involved in drafting new laws and regulations especially those related to investment and doing business in Palestine. In June 2014 the World Council selected the firms Managing Partner Attorney Haytham Al-Zubi to become a member in the ICC International Court of Arbitration (Paris), which is one of the most highly regarded legal forums worldwide.
