Career biography
As general legal manager of Tamdeen Group, one of Kuwait’s leading real-estate development and management companies, I oversee legal affairs and governance, aligning the group’s projects and partnerships with sound legal and regulatory standards.
I lead a talented in-house team responsible for strategic transactions, dispute resolution, government engagement, and the day-to-day legal frameworks for the group’s retail, hospitality, digital, sports, entertainment, and real-estate operations. I view the legal function as a business partner, enabling growth, protecting value, and ensuring compliance.
The legal landscape is evolving rapidly, driven by new technologies, changing regulations, and rising business expectations. I focus on keeping the group’s legal function agile and practical, adopting useful tools and streamlining processes where they add real value, while maintaining rigorous judgment and clear guidance. This adaptability, combined with strong risk management and team development, ensures our legal work consistently protects value, enables opportunity, and supports the group’s continued growth.
