Hammouri & Partners (the “Firm”) is a prominent law firm with a head office in Jordan with regional presence (Iraq, UAE, Syria) and with a global outreach. The Firm accounts over 30 years of presence in the legal market with legal services that span across an array of industries and sectors.

Further, the Firm's Start-Ups and SMEs Department was set up to support entrepreneurs, and SME management teams at every stage of growth, from structuring to contracts and compliance.

In 2023, Hammouri & Partners Attorneys at-Law strengthened its regional footprint by establishing its presence in Iraq, opening an office in Baghdad and later expanding to Erbil. Through these offices, the Firm now serves clients across Federal Iraq and the Kurdistan Region of Iraq, offering on-the-ground support backed by the full resources of its head office in Amman.
