Bahrain

The Kingdom of Bahrain has taken positive steps towards protecting individuals from personal and data theft with the introduction of the amendments brought along by Legislative Decree No. (3) of 2025. Founding Partner Saad Al Doseri and Trainee Lawyer Noor Fathalla provide their insight on the recent amendments to Bahrain’s Penal Code.

Founding Partner Saad Al Doseri examines the growing use of mediation to resolve disputes in the Arab region. Whilst mediation enjoys popularity in other jurisdictions globally, it is not yet widely used in the Middle East, although that interest is increasing. In his article below, Saad examines the merits of mediation, including the advantages of choosing it over other ADR methods such as arbitration, as well as how the concept of mediation aligns closely with Arab and Islamic cultural nuances.

Specialist MENA-based law firms Al Doseri Law and GLA & Company today announce the formation of a strategic alliance in the Kingdom of Bahrain, bolstering the offerings of both firms in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region.

In one of the GCC’s most prominent cross-border transactions this year, Al Doseri Law has advised UAE-based financial services institution, Al Ansari Financial Services (“AAFS”), on the large-scale 100% acquisition of Bahrain Financing Company Group (“BFC”), a leading money transfer and currency exchange corporation in the Kingdom of Bahrain.
