It is always a pleasure to see our team’s hard work being recognised, as we strive hard to provide world class service to local and international clients from our offices in Lebanon and Qatar.” said Chairman and Senior Partner Salim El Meouchi.
Badri and Salim El Meouchi Law Firm was also nominated for the Middle East Pro Bono Law Firm of the Year Award, in recognition of the hundreds of hours of pro bono work undertaken by lawyers at the firm for the community at large and for a wide range of causes and NGOs; the firm won this award in 2015.
