In 2009, the competent Qatari Court introduced the online case registration system, an electronic service to accelerate case filing and ease court fee payment procedures, the first in the Middle East. Our Law Firm, Jumah Nasser Al Kaabi Law Firm/ GLC was the first law firm in the country to register a case and make use of the e-filling system.
Below are newspaper publications made for the Firm as the first law firm to register case online:
- Peninsula newspaper, published 27 July 2009
- Al Watan newspaper published dated 26 July 2009
It is undeniable that the world is changing innovatively and that technology continues to evolve and develop. This is for the same reason that we at GLC, challenge ourselves to embrace the new technology and find ways to stay ahead of these new advancements.
In mid-2017, GLC Management has invested and launched a password-protected Law Office Management System that allows both Law firm staff (lawyers and legal support staffs) and external clients to access their case, files, and updates through a particular exclusive website. This software system manages and automates the firm’s business process. The system aimed to improve the efficiency and organization of the firm’s office workloads such as that of electronic filing, document management, and interactive communication with clients.
On top of that, our lawyers and court representatives were given not only with the technical know-how of the office management system but were also provided with specific technology tools such as iPads / smartphones to be able to utilize optimal workflow and work more efficiently thus, resulting to exceptional legal services to clients.
Apart from the above-mentioned, GLC opens its doors to social media platforms, thus, the birth of our social media accounts @GLC_LawFirm on LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and YouTube. Our social media accounts cater to techno & internet-savvy individuals and companies who sought legal updates through the evolving internet world.
GLC at the same time never fails to recognize the value of information and knowledge imparted from conferences and seminars. Lawyers are frequently sent to seminars, conferences, and legal courses.
Our legal advisors actively participate in state and international law firm organizations and GLC continuously broadens association with the business of the same field.

Decree No. (2) of 2022 of the Ministry of Commerce and Industry on Achieving the requirements of anti-money laundering and combating the financing of terrorism related to commercial companies
5th June 2023 Decree No (2) of 2022 (“The Decree”) dated 7th February 2022 was released by the Ministry of Commerce and Industry (MoCI) on meeting the requirements of anti-money laundering measures and combating the financing of terrorism related to commercial companies.The establishment of a new court in Qatar: Investment and Commerce
4th May 2022 As Qatar begins to establish itself as a strong player in the global market, its government has sought new ways to attract interest and investment. In October 2021, Law No. 21 Establishing the Investment and Commerce Court was passed and shall come into force in May 2022. In Qatar, many disputes are litigated in court rather than through alternative dispute resolution such as arbitration which still proves to be particularly expensive for parties. As Qatar’s economy continues to grow with the help of domestic companies as well as foreign investors, naturally more commercial disputes have begun to arise. The current litigation process is particularly lengthy and requires the appointment of court experts who are required to delve into the facts of the case, assess the evidence, and provide a report to the courts before the judge can make his final judgment. With the establishment of the new court, commercial disputes can be resolved more efficiently and with the required level of knowledge and expertise which in turn shall provide greater consistency in outcomes. The new court shall be on the first instance and appellate levels and shall have jurisdiction over a wide range of commercial matters including:- Matters relating to commercial contracts, commercial assets, and commercial agency
- Disputes arising between partners and shareholders
- Competition law and public-private partnerships
- Intellectual Property rights
- The operation of banks, commercial securities, financial and investment companies
