About

As the legal head of a foreign multinational moving into the region, Dalia Al Sayeh recognised the benefits of learning from the experiences of others. Accordingly, she formed an informal network of GCs in the same situation, in order to share knowledge and build a support network to deal with unchartered territory. An experienced international lawyer, Al Sayeh has relished the challenge of supporting a ‘successful and innovative company’ in its ‘energetic growth across the region’. ‘Coming from a corporate MandA background I really enjoy the diversity of the work’, she adds. ‘The role is fast-paced and challenging’. Al Sayeh has drawn praise inside and outside her organisation for the steps she has taken to simplify the function’s running and maximise its value-add. ‘As we are a small team supporting various business groups across a wide jurisdiction, one of my goals coming into the role was to automate certain processes to address routine matters which don’t require much legal input or analysis’, she says. ‘These processes enabled my team to function more efficiently and dedicate time to the more complex matters’. When it comes to law firms, she would like to see a more ‘practical’ approach. ‘We operate in a distinct legal environment without much certainty or binding precedent’, she says. ‘As in-house counsel we recognise that but would like outside counsel to advise beyond the state of the law’.
